humiliated - Story 67315 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call was from her father. He was delighted. “He speaks our language now, your husband! It is so wonderful that he tries!” Her heart sunk. She hadn't told her parents, hadn't wanted to. It was supposed to be her thing, her bond with them, her heritage.

She imagined her father, beaming, sharing a joke, and his son-in-law, fumbling for the right word. A cold, unfamiliar feeling started in her chest. She stood at the kitchen counter, staring out the window, watching the rain blur the world outside. The phone felt heavy in her hand.
