disgusted - Story 29493 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The café, once a place of inspiration, now felt suffocating. Sarah sat across from her friend, trying to explain how her self-folding laundry basket was already "a thing." She picked at the foam on her latte, her jaw clenched. The thought of the other inventor, the one who'd beaten her to the patent office, gnawed at her. She felt a wave of cold wash over her, a shiver running down her spine. The words in her head just wouldn’t cohere into a sentence she could speak aloud. This was a nightmare. This whole thing was a nightmare.
