disgusted - Story 29938 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma, a sickly sweet punch in the face, assaulted his senses the moment he opened the door. He recoiled. Inside, a vulgar display of roses and baby's breath sat on the kitchen counter. They were impossibly red.

He slammed the door shut, as if the physical act could somehow sever the connection. He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to run his hands under cold water. He didn't want to touch anything.

He paced the length of the living room, trying to regain his composure. The air was thick, suffocating. He took a deep breath, and it tasted wrong.
