humiliated - Story 67041 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pounding started at precisely seven AM. Seven AM! Brenda had just managed to drift off after a night spent tossing and turning, battling the persistent heat. Now, a jackhammer was serenading her, courtesy of the new folks next door. She scrambled out of bed, yanking her robe tighter, certain her dishevelled appearance would confirm everything.

She hadn't even brushed her hair when she stormed outside, ready to unleash a fury of complaints. But the woman, all perfectly coiffed blonde and pristine white jeans, was already there, directing the workmen. Brenda felt a fresh wave of mortification wash over her.

"Morning," the woman chirped, her smile a beacon of perfectly-aligned teeth. "Excited about the extension?" Brenda stammered a reply, aware that her voice was a croak. She wanted to disappear, to vanish into the newly tilled flowerbeds.
