disgusted - Story 29406 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"I need a hazmat suit," Ethan said to his sister, his voice flat. He was standing in the kitchen, staring at the layers of dust and grime covering the counters. It was worse than he remembered.

He pulled a face, wrinkling his nose in distaste. Even the light fixtures seemed coated in a greasy film, reflecting the scant light with a sickly sheen.

He grabbed a bottle of cleaning spray from his bag, and began to spray everything in sight, hoping to create a temporary sterile zone. He felt a rising feeling in his throat.
