disgusted - Story 29558 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the apartment seemed to have curdled. The source of it sat in a corner, a small, furry menace. Thomas felt his throat constrict. He imagined the things crawling across his bed when he closed his eyes.

He watched as his roommate, Kevin, made a fuss over the animal. He felt a chill, a profound aversion to everything the animal represented. He found himself backing away, as though it was a danger.

"This is not happening," he said, his tone flat, "Do not bring that… thing… near me."
