disgusted - Story 29537 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pizza tasted like cardboard. Emily shoved the slice back onto the box, the greasy cardboard already feeling disgusting on her fingers. She should be celebrating; the scholarship was supposed to be a good thing. But the elation had been quickly replaced by this terrible hollowness.

She wanted to call her parents, but she couldn't bring herself to speak. What would she say? "Sorry, Mom and Dad, I am not deserving of this?"

She felt sick. The whole thing seemed like a farce, a cruel joke. She couldn't shake the sensation that she was a fraud.
