disgusted - Story 29151 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The interview room felt stale, the air thick with the scent of cheap cologne and desperation. Amelia watched Liam, her supposed friend, practically vibrate with forced enthusiasm. He was leaning forward, practically panting as he answered the interviewer's questions. His carefully crafted smile, the one he’d practiced in the mirror for weeks, was a ghastly thing.

A wave of nausea churned in her stomach. She’d known him for years, seen the genuine, easygoing man he was. Now, he was a caricature, a frantic puppet.

She shifted in her chair, the scratchy fabric of the upholstery chafing her skin. Every word that came out of Liam's mouth felt like a physical assault, a slick coating on her senses. The entire charade left a bitter taste in her mouth.
