disgusted - Story 29323 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The review sat propped against a salt shaker, a stark white rectangle that felt like a judgment. Leo could feel his appetite vanishing, the thought of food suddenly making his stomach clench. He ran a hand through his hair, leaving greasy strands plastered to his forehead.

He went to the walk-in fridge. The sight of the fresh ingredients, the vibrant colors of the vegetables and the glistening surfaces of the meats, usually a source of inspiration, did nothing to soothe him. The critic had eviscerated his ambitious new menu.

He kicked a small garbage can, the sound a sharp crack in the otherwise silent room. He picked it up and threw it across the kitchen. He wanted to escape, to run.
