humiliated - Story 67250 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You… have a history of schizophrenia?" Mark asked, his voice barely audible. He felt lightheaded, his vision swimming. The doctor, bless her heart, stammered a correction, but the damage was done. The label had been applied.

He felt exposed, as if all his secrets, all his anxieties, were suddenly projected onto the waiting room walls for everyone to see. He wanted to be invisible.

He stood up, his legs shaky, and mumbled his thanks, avoiding all eye contact. He just wanted to go home and hide, to disappear into the familiar shadows of his apartment.
