disgusted - Story 29815 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The brightly lit hallway felt like a tunnel, closing in on Jessica. A knot formed in her gut. She’d been struggling, and she’d needed help. That was how she ended up here, in front of the door with the nameplate: "Michael Harrison, MS, LMFT." Michael Harrison. The boy who had delighted in teasing her, calling her names.

She could picture him perfectly: the smirk, the eyes that could cut through anything. She was sure he would revel in her vulnerability. The thought of admitting her fears to him was a horror.

She considered the implications. She looked at the door. Her breath hitched. She knocked, her knuckles white.
