horrified - Story 65440 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The chef on the morning show was demonstrating his famous "Secret Seafood Stew." The stew looked identical to his old mentor's recipe, right down to the garnish. The chef explained the "unique" blend of herbs with a casual smile. He was acting like the recipe was his own, despite the truth.

The room seemed to spin. He felt a sense of outrage so powerful it nearly paralyzed him. He sat, unable to move. The program ended, but the feeling remained. He wanted to scream. He wanted to shout. He wanted to confront this man but felt held captive by a force he did not understand.
