disgusted - Story 29820 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The room seemed to shrink, the air thickened. She had to go through this. She felt like she wanted to vomit. The idea of laying bare her vulnerabilities to someone who had once delighted in her pain was agonizing.

The receptionist called her name. She had to take a deep breath to stop herself from running away. She entered the office, feeling the walls close in.
