humiliated - Story 67001 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the gallery window as Clara stared at the photograph. A woman’s back, a perfect replica of her "Crimson Bloom" canvas, now permanently etched onto skin. Her stomach churned. It felt like someone had snatched a piece of her soul and flung it onto the street.

The curator, Mr. Davies, kept clearing his throat, his face a mask of polite concern. Clara couldn’t meet his gaze. She fumbled with the clasp of her purse, her fingers clumsy.

"It's... flattering," Mr. Davies offered, his voice a little too loud. Clara choked back a laugh. Flattering? It was a violation. A theft. She wanted to scream. She wanted to run. Instead, she murmured something about needing fresh air and practically fled the gallery.
