disgusted - Story 29399 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The antique bookstore was a treasure trove, at least it had been. Michael had found a beautiful, leather-bound volume of poetry. He carefully opened it, and a brittle, yellowed letter fell out.

He felt a sudden dryness in his mouth. He held his breath for a moment. He quickly placed the letter back in the book, feeling a sense of revulsion that surprised him. He pushed the book away from himself and stood up, moving away from his chair as he felt he could not touch it any longer. He left the shop immediately.
