embarrassed - Story 40772 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"And for Amelia," the solicitor announced, pausing for dramatic effect. Mark, her brother, leaned forward, a greedy glint in his eye. Amelia clenched her jaw. She could feel the blood rushing to her face.

He got the vineyard, the family business. She got a taxidermied squirrel wearing a miniature top hat and monocle.

The solicitor went on to explain its historical significance, apparently a family heirloom. It was the only thing listed under her name. Amelia wanted to crawl under the mahogany table. She couldn't bring herself to look at Mark, his triumphant smirk a physical blow. She could only manage a curt, "Thank you," as she rose to leave, the small figure of a rodent gentleman feeling like a heavy weight in her soul.
