humiliated - Story 67179 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, you're the head writer?" She felt a sudden, sharp jolt of surprise. Her friend, Liam, had always spoken of his "creative pursuits." Now, the host of the writers' workshop was looking at her. He wasn’t a head writer. He was a participant.

She felt the flush of embarrassment spread across her face. Liam, in his threadbare jacket and increasingly evasive manner, had been telling them all for years. Years. She felt a sickening lurch in her stomach.

She forced a smile, but it felt brittle and unnatural. Her whole body was telling her that she wanted to run away. She had to stay.
