disgusted - Story 29817 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The waiting room seemed to vibrate with a false cheerfulness. The pastel colors, the motivational posters, the Muzak – it all grated on David’s nerves. He saw the sign: "Robert Davies, Licensed Therapist." Robert Davies. A wave of ice coursed through him. The boy who’d pushed him around, the one who’d reveled in his fear.

His heart thudded in his chest. A cold sweat slicked his palms. He ran his hand through his hair, trying to calm himself. The very thought of sharing his deepest insecurities with *that* person was abhorrent.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something. He wanted to vanish. He took a deep, shaky breath, and walked towards the office door.
