embarrassed - Story 40600 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She paced the length of her living room, her steps agitated and restless. Her meticulously organized desk, usually a source of pride, now seemed to mock her with its emptiness. She felt a flush rising to her cheeks, a suffocating heat. She couldn't face the world, not today. Not after this.
