embarrassed - Story 40235 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"That's… that's *me*," Chloe stammered, pointing at the laptop screen. Her throat constricted. Her eyes flicked around the crowded coffee shop, as if expecting everyone to be staring. The article, complete with scanned pages from her diary, was undeniable. The details of her first kiss, the fights with her mom, all laid bare for the public.

Her fingers trembled as she reached for her coffee cup, accidentally spilling some on the table. She quickly wiped it up, her movements jerky and uncoordinated. She wished she could disappear, become invisible. The world around her seemed to spin, the noise of the cafe intensifying until it was a deafening roar.
