disgusted - Story 29236 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Look at this, Sarah!” Her mother’s voice chirped with an unsettling glee. Sarah’s face paled. The article on her diary had already been shared on her Facebook. She couldn’t bring herself to read the comments.

She felt a constriction in her chest, making it hard to breathe. The world seemed to wobble around her. She fled her mother's presence, desperate for air.

Sarah locked herself in her bedroom, huddled on her bed. A single tear traced a path down her cheek. She buried her face in her hands, wanting to erase everything, the words, the website, the very thought.
