disgusted - Story 29195 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She could barely bring herself to speak. Each word had to be measured, each smile had to be perfect. She found herself subtly wiping her hands on her jeans after shaking his hand.

She wanted to run. She wanted to yell. Instead, she asked, with a strained politeness, "So, how is... the curriculum these days?"
