humiliated - Story 67386 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"This can't be happening," muttered James, staring across the park bench at the two women. He'd arranged to meet "Jessica" to discuss their weekend plans. As he approached, he'd seen "Jessica" sharing a picnic basket with another woman, a woman he knew as "Kate." "Jessica" had told him she was busy every weekend for the past six months.

He felt the blood drain from his face. The idyllic setting, the sunshine, the chirping birds – they all seemed to conspire against him, highlighting his foolishness. He stopped several feet away, feeling his legs grow heavy.

He felt a deep shame settle over him, making him want to disappear and change his name.
