disgusted - Story 29889 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She saw the gardener in the background, carefully tending to the roses. He had always complained about the price of lawnmowers. She felt an urgent need to escape, to sever the connection, to erase the image from her mind. The perfectly aligned hedges felt like bars of a cage.
