disgusted - Story 29554 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The constant scratching, the sniffing, the… sheer *presence* of the creature was starting to grate on Alex’s nerves. He found himself picking at the skin on his hands, a nervous habit he hadn't indulged in years. He felt a creeping unease, a feeling that something unclean had infiltrated his space.

He watched as his roommate, Ben, attempted to clean the cage. Alex turned away, unable to watch the process. The idea of touching anything in that area of the apartment made him shudder. He started wearing his shoes inside the apartment, which was something he had NEVER done before.

He thought, "This is intolerable."
