dispirited - Story 31880 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news had hit her like a punch to the gut. Her short film, her baby, was playing at a festival. It had been playing at the wrong festival. A festival she didn't know anything about. A festival she had not given permission to use her work.

Eliza felt a tremor run through her. Every shot, every scene, every second was a part of her. It was as if someone had taken her, violated her.

She closed her eyes, trying to block out the images that flooded her mind. She felt hollow, adrift, as though the ground had been ripped from beneath her feet. She wanted the world to stop.
