disgusted - Story 29937 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flowers sat in the middle of her desk, a garish splash of color amid the subdued tones of her office. They were sunflowers, gigantic and smiling. She found them utterly offensive.

She tried to focus on her work, but the sickly sweet fragrance, like cheap perfume, was impossible to ignore. Every time she looked up, the flowers seemed to mock her. The sheer, overwhelming brightness of the blooms made her eyes water.

She snatched her jacket, and quickly left the office.
