embarrassed - Story 40370 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The card was a bizarre combination of clowns and unicorns, and the colours were atrocious. It was a nightmare. The fact that it was unsigned made Chloe feel…uneasy. It was her birthday. She’d thrown a party, expecting more.

She quickly glanced around, her eyes darting from side to side. She felt a strange heat in her chest. She wanted to scream. She went inside, slammed the door behind her, and threw the card on the floor.

She wanted to burn it. She wanted to know who had sent it. She stomped on it then picked it up. She hated this feeling of being mocked and decided to ignore the card for now.
