disgusted - Story 29191 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of stale coffee and something vaguely floral hit Amelia the moment she stepped inside the classroom. She felt a knot tighten in her stomach. Mrs. Gable. *Still* Mrs. Gable. Forty years, surely, that woman couldn't still be inflicting her monotone lectures on innocent children. Amelia wanted to hurl.

She forced a smile, which immediately felt brittle, and shook Mrs. Gable's hand. The woman's grip was as papery and lifeless as Amelia remembered. "So nice to see you," Mrs. Gable chirped, her voice exactly as high-pitched and grating as Amelia recalled. Amelia swallowed hard, the bile rising in her throat.

"Yes, well," Amelia managed, backing away slightly, "I'll just... I'll check on little Timmy now." She needed air. Fresh air. She needed to escape this time warp.
