disgusted - Story 29308 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the office was suddenly thick, stifling. John ran his hand over his face, as if to wipe away a film of something unclean. The figures. The blasted figures. His new, less experienced manager, getting paid more.

He pushed his chair back, the screech of the wheels echoing in the sudden silence. He went for a walk, but the usual calming effect of the park failed. The vibrant colors of the flowers seemed garish, their perfume cloying.

He imagined confronting his new boss, but the thought was immediately followed by a wave of something akin to loathing. He turned and headed back to the office, the injustice festering in his chest.
