disgusted - Story 29442 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d known something was off the moment he’d walked in. The air had a strange, almost sticky quality. He saw his roommate, Mark, fiddling with a pen at his desk. A knot tightened in Alex’s chest. He glanced at his own journal, usually tucked away under his pillow, and it was slightly ajar. He felt a need to shower, a deep-seated urge to scrub the very pores of his skin. He closed his journal, and moved it to his bag, away from Mark.
