horrified - Story 65876 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Magnificent!" The curator's voice boomed across the room. Chloe stared at the tapestry. A tapestry she had designed, a tapestry she had then discarded. She had never finished it. Now, it hung completed, and signed with her name.

She felt a prickling heat rise from her chest and spread through her limbs. She couldn't believe it. This was an affront. A blatant, brazen violation. Her palms began to sweat.

She backed away slowly, her eyes fixed on the artwork. It seemed to grow larger with every step. Her breath caught in her throat. She found herself outside the gallery, gasping for air, the blood pounding in her ears.
