embarrassed - Story 40416 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"I... I can't believe I found this," David muttered, the words catching in his throat. He had been so sure he’d lost his own wallet. This one, bulging with hundreds, was much more valuable. He felt the blood rush to his face, making his cheeks burn.

He looked around the dimly lit alley, acutely aware of the grime and the smell of stale beer. He’d just spent his last few dollars on a pack of cigarettes. This find felt like an assault on his conscience. He had to decide what to do and quickly.

He kicked at a loose stone, suddenly wishing he could rewind time and never had found the wallet.
