disgusted - Story 29822 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She felt a prickling sensation on her skin, a feeling of being unclean. The other woman, Sarah, across the lab table, gestured towards the identical results, displayed on two side-by-side monitors. Their research, years in the making, aimed at the same breakthrough. It was a mirror, reflecting her own hard work back at her, twisted and contorted by this… this interloper.

A bead of sweat trickled down her temple. The sterile white lab seemed to close in around her. She found herself picking at a loose thread on her lab coat, a nervous habit she hadn't indulged in years. "Are you… are you serious?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper. Sarah's lips curled into a patronizing smile. She wanted to scream.
