hateful - Story 61576 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He saw her shopping at the grocery store, wheeling a basket filled with fresh produce. "Hey, it's...Karen, right?" he started, trying to sound friendly. It came out clipped, an accusation.

She studied him for a moment, the wrinkles around her eyes crinkling. A shake of her head. "I'm afraid not."

“Oh, sorry,” he mumbled, without looking at her, a bitter taste rising in his throat.
