humiliated - Story 67147 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The last rays of the setting sun painted the gallery in long shadows. Leo had arrived, ready to showcase his latest pieces to his mentor, Ms. Moreau, only to be told she had left for an ‘extended sabbatical’. He leaned against the wall, tracing the outline of a discarded brush with his finger, the silence heavy. The air was thick with the scent of turpentine and the ghosts of previous critiques. He felt an intense urge to disappear, to vanish just as completely as she had, to escape the crushing weight of this sudden, unexpected rejection.
