disgusted - Story 29647 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The meeting room felt stuffy, the air thick with unspoken truths. Sarah shifted uncomfortably in her chair, the crispness of her freshly ironed blouse now felt constricting. She listened to the carefully worded explanation, the corporate speak bouncing around the room, each syllable grating against her senses.

She felt a prickling sensation on her skin, as if something was crawling beneath the surface. The thought of sharing another meal with the people around the table made her want to vomit.

She excused herself and went to the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face. Even that did not help.
