disgusted - Story 29819 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The waiting room's silence felt oppressive. A slow, creeping dread began to build inside him. He sat in front of the door. “Dr. Thomas Bell, Psy.D.” it read. Thomas Bell. He was hit with a powerful memory. The boy who stole his lunch and made him feel worthless.

His hands began to tremble. His vision swam. He fought the impulse to run.

He knew he needed help. His doctor had recommended it. He entered the office. The thought of sharing the most intimate details of his life with that person was like being asked to drink poison.
