disgusted - Story 29860 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The inherited apartment felt stifling, the air thick with the ghosts of his mother's presence. Mark examined the list, tucked away in a desk drawer. The words felt like a betrayal, a confirmation of a secret life.

“Sing on stage.” Mark’s face twisted in disgust. He imagined the woman who was afraid to speak in public, belting out a song. The idea filled him with…something unpleasant. He couldn't name it. He wanted to throw up.

“Get a motorcycle.” Mark slammed the drawer shut, a violent gesture. The thought of his mother, the most cautious of drivers, on a speeding machine? He wanted to run, to escape the sickening reality of this hidden existence. He couldn't even stand to be in the same room.
