horrified - Story 65077 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pizza delivery guy, his face beaming, handed her the box. "Enjoy your pizza, Sarah!" He sounded familiar. She stared at him, her blood turning to ice. *PizzaGuyJoe*. He’d been the only person she'd confided in about her terrible roommate. The roommate she had just been sharing the pizza with.

She could barely bring herself to offer a tip, the words catching in her throat. She quickly closed the door, leaning against it for support. Her mind raced with possible scenarios. She wanted to scream, to lash out.

She had to make a plan.
