disgusted - Story 29413 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gleaming gold clasp of the wallet seemed to mock Amelia. She found it lying on the pristine white tile of the art gallery bathroom floor. The air was supposed to be filled with the subtle scent of expensive perfume, but now, a subtle unpleasantness filled her nostrils.

She almost didn’t pick it up, imagining the germs clinging to it. But the sheer extravagance of it, the expensive crocodile leather, called to her. She hesitated, looking from the closed door of the bathroom to the wallet in her hands.

She opened the wallet, then immediately snapped it shut, her face tightening. She didn't want to know. "Ugh!" she blurted out.
