disgusted - Story 29152 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows, mirroring the storm brewing inside him. He’d seen Sarah’s application; seen her glowing references, her impeccable resume. A wave of revulsion, cold and clammy, washed over him. The very idea of her getting this job – the one he’d poured his heart into preparing for – made him want to scrub the back of his throat.

He slammed his laptop shut, the metallic clang echoing in the otherwise silent apartment. The thought of feigning camaraderie, of congratulating her with a smile if she got it, made him want to retch.

He grabbed his coat, the fabric suddenly feeling heavy, suffocating. He needed air, needed to be away from the imagined smugness he was sure he'd see on her face.
