furious - Story 53518 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The team dinner was a mistake. He sat at the table, a rigid statue amidst the boisterous laughter and forced camaraderie. He pushed his food around his plate, unable to swallow. The celebratory atmosphere felt like a deliberate insult. He was an outsider now, a ghost.

He forced a smile, a grotesque imitation of joy.

The other players talked and laughed. But, to him, they seemed like actors in a play.

He excused himself, his voice tight and uneven, and walked away from the table. The need to escape was overwhelming.

He could feel the eyes on his back. They were judging him. He hated them.
