exasperated - Story 47168 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music was too loud, the lights too bright. Maria felt a wave of nausea wash over her as she saw Leo across the room. She hated this feeling, this sudden need to flee and hide.

Her hands started to shake slightly as she reached for a canapé, then dropped it. Great, she thought, just great. She hated that she still felt this way after all this time. She needed to escape.

She excused herself from her current conversation, mumbling something about needing to find the restroom. She needed to get away, even if only for a few minutes.
