disgusted - Story 29846 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She imagined the source: a group of boisterous teenagers, their voices a cacophony of shouts and laughter. The whole scene felt cheap and tawdry.

She slammed her fist on the table, the force startling her. She had to do something, anything, to make the noise stop.
