embarrassed - Story 40984 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tremor in David’s hands was evident as he tried to pour coffee. He hadn't been able to finish his breakfast. The notification had arrived just as he was about to leave for work. He needed to find a new apartment.

He had always considered this place a temporary haven. He felt he had never put down roots. The faded paint on the walls, the slightly uneven floors, had suited his transient nature. He knew that the only thing that he liked about the apartment was that it was cheap.

The realtor would be coming. He imagined her judgment and was mortified. He started to wonder if the landlord knew that he was a slob. He didn't want anyone to see his place.
