humiliated - Story 67077 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The awkward silence was deafening. Mark, who had spent months calling "Artistic_Aria" a talentless hack, stood across from her at the gallery opening. Aria was now the center of attention. Mark was trying to blend into the wallpaper.

He shifted uncomfortably from foot to foot.

He wanted to run and hide. He could feel the eyes of the other gallery goers on him, especially as Aria turned her gaze in his direction.

She tilted her head, a slight frown creasing her brow.

He mumbled something and tried to slip away unnoticed.
