humiliated - Story 67435 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The brightly lit website, filled with images of her "Berry Bliss Cake," mocked Emily. It was almost a carbon copy of the cake she sold at her small market stall. The only difference? The name and a wildly inflated price tag. The site claimed it was an original recipe from a "renowned baker."

Her fingers trembled as she scrolled through the comments, each one praising the cake's "unique flavor profile." It felt like a punch to the gut.

She closed her laptop, the screen reflecting her pale, drawn face. A burning sensation welled up behind her eyes, and she blinked rapidly, willing the tears away.
