disgusted - Story 29623 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The spaghetti she’d made for dinner suddenly seemed repulsive, the smell too intense. Sarah pushed the plate away. Mr. Peterson, her calculus teacher, had started following her on TikTok. She knew, because the app had helpfully notified her.

She'd immediately blocked him, but the knowledge lingered, a sticky residue in the back of her throat. She tried to focus on the news on the television, but her mind kept replaying the image of his profile, a stark, unwelcome presence in her carefully curated online world. She felt like crawling out of her skin, wanting to be anywhere but her own house.
