disgusted - Story 29775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer finished reading the will, and it was Charlie's turn to speak. His sister, Iris, had inherited the family's art studio, a sprawling space filled with canvases and easels. He received a series of antique mechanical toys. He immediately closed his eyes.

He didn't want to handle them. He didn't want to wind them up. He didn't want to see them move. He couldn't help but picture the cogs, the springs, the tiny, intricate mechanisms.

He felt a hot flush spread across his neck, and a shudder ripple through his body. He opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Instead, he simply got up and walked out, leaving Iris and the lawyer in the silence.
