humiliated - Story 67200 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh, you have Ms. Jones? She was my fourth-grade teacher!" Mark’s daughter's words sent a wave of heat through him. Ms. Jones, who'd put him in the corner for fidgeting during story time.

The thought of facing her at the upcoming parent-teacher conference filled him with dread. He avoided his daughter's gaze, feigning interest in the television. He knew his childhood self would be mortified by the news. The memory of Ms. Jones' stern face was still sharp and vivid, a reminder of a time he wanted to forget.
