humiliated - Story 67388 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air conditioning in the hotel lobby blasted, but it offered no relief. David felt a wave of heat wash over him. He’d arrived early for his date with "Anna." As he sat, reading, he noticed the woman he’d been texting for months in the lobby with another woman, both dressed for a night on the town. Both were wearing the diamond earrings he'd bought "Anna" last week.

His mouth went dry. His carefully orchestrated life now felt like a poorly written play. He wanted to scream at someone, at anyone, but all he could manage was a weak, involuntary cough.

He had become an utter fool. He knew he should leave, but his feet refused to move.
