humiliated - Story 67044 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The new neighbors were loud, obnoxiously loud. Mark had always considered his house his sanctuary, a quiet retreat from the chaos of the city. Now, it was a battleground. He couldn't concentrate, couldn't relax.

He'd tried to be friendly, had offered a plate of cookies on the first day. The wife had taken one, then tossed it in the trash without a word. Mark felt the heat rise to his face.

He found himself avoiding eye contact, hiding behind the newspaper when he took the trash out. He'd even started taking the longer route to work, just to avoid the sight of the gleaming new windows, the perfectly landscaped yard.
