humiliated - Story 67347 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to shrink, focusing on that one, awful object. There, on a table piled high with knick-knacks, was her dearest friend of all, Buttons. She immediately felt like she was back in kindergarten. The memories of her childhood swirled around her, filling her with dread.

She felt a hot flush spread across her chest as she approached the table, feeling every step. The woman selling the items seemed to know her thoughts. The woman smirked at her and said, "He looks lonely, doesn't he?" She didn't respond. She turned away quickly, wanting to hide from the world.
