humiliated - Story 67007 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The art fair was supposed to be a triumph. Instead, Eleanor found herself staring at the tattoo on a young woman’s ankle. A near-perfect copy of her delicate watercolor butterfly.

A wave of dizziness washed over her. She excused herself from the booth, her cheeks burning with an unfamiliar heat. The smiles of the other artists felt mocking. She wished she had never come.

She walked towards a quiet bench, her legs feeling like lead. Her head was filled with a buzzing noise. She felt the sudden, overwhelming desire to return home and never paint again.
