disturbed - Story 33197 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant, enthusiastic voice of her daughter as she spoke of "Mr. Carter" grated on her nerves. The same Mr. Carter who'd made her feel stupid and incapable. The man whose classroom was a source of dread.

She felt a sudden urge to buy her daughter the best books, the nicest clothes, anything to give her an advantage. She was desperate to make her invulnerable to the experiences she had. She was determined to ensure her daughter’s journey was different.

The thought of going to a parent-teacher night sent a wave of nausea through her.
