humiliated - Story 67268 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus ride home was a symphony of forced smiles and hushed whispers. Maria sat alone, staring out the window, the city lights blurring through her tears. She'd imagined this trip, the celebratory atmosphere of a victory.

Her vision blurred again, and her lips trembled. Instead, she was surrounded by the palpable excitement of her teammates, their voices cheerful. The silence on her side of the bus was deafening.

She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms. The scenery outside of the bus became meaningless, her mind replaying the crushing news.
