disgusted - Story 29864 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang. Professor Armitage, a man of meticulous habits, grumbled as he went to answer it. It was a delivery man, holding a large, gaudily decorated fruit basket. The card read, "To the Greatest Professor Ever! From, Kevin." Kevin, the one who’d plagiarized half his final paper.

He slammed the door shut, ignoring the delivery man's protests. He didn't want it. He didn't want any of it. He went back to his desk, the basket already a nauseating presence in his foyer.

He felt a sudden headache, a sharp throb behind his eyes. He poured himself a stiff drink, swallowing it in one go. He needed to wash the memory of Kevin from his mind. He needed to forget the entire, disgusting episode.
