embarrassed - Story 40688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ceramics studio, usually a haven of quiet concentration for Arthur, was now a lively hub of creative chaos, thanks to his daughter, Clara. Clara, at nine, had adopted his pottery hobby, and was now teaching classes and selling her work at a local market.

Arthur hovered in the doorway, his hands clasped behind his back. The studio was filled with laughing children and the whir of pottery wheels. He watched Clara, her face alight with excitement, demonstrating how to shape a vase.

A tiny voice piped up, "Mr. Arthur! Clara says your pots are *ancient*!" Arthur's jaw tightened.
