embarrassed - Story 40988 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

James stared at the door to his apartment. He knew he didn't have much time. He was late for a meeting. He'd put the notice at the bottom of his pile of mail. He needed to avoid this at all costs.

He couldn't even think about cleaning his apartment. He had a stack of unopened bills on the kitchen counter. He had a bunch of dirty dishes in the sink. He couldn't deal with the condo conversion on top of everything else.

He could feel his pulse quickening. He had to go to work. He didn't want to talk about this with anyone. His hands began to sweat as he closed and locked the door.
