disturbed - Story 33176 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“So… *that's* what you do,” Frank managed, his voice a tight rasp. He stared across the coffee table at his friend, George. George’s "executive position" at a tech startup was, in reality, a glorified data entry clerk role. Frank’s jaw ached from clenching it so tight.

He picked up his coffee cup and took a large gulp, the hot liquid burning his throat. He couldn't meet George's gaze. The casual lies, the fabricated accomplishments – they all felt like a personal affront. He felt his face grow hot, and a flush creep into his cheeks. He wasn't sure how to feel.
