disgusted - Story 29454 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. Mark paced his apartment, the same cramped space that suddenly felt utterly alien. He couldn't bear to look at the photos on his walls, the smiling faces of the people he had always called his family. Every memory, every shared joke, every embrace, twisted into something he couldn’t trust. He felt betrayed.

He yanked open the window, letting the cold night air rush in, hoping to breathe away the suffocating feeling. He wanted to scream but instead just felt a dull ache behind his eyes. He went to his bathroom and stared at himself in the mirror, finding a stranger. The image stared back at him with an unsettling familiarity, a truth he was struggling to process.
