humiliated - Story 67445 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world swam as Ben saw his roommate, Leo, holding his journal. He had been so careful to hide it, under his mattress, beneath his books. A sense of wrongness filled him, a feeling that went deep down into his bones.

Ben felt his face grow hot as he watched Leo, a thoughtful look on his face. He watched the expression change, and he knew he could no longer face the room. He felt trapped. He stood there, trying to figure out what to do. He turned and slowly backed away.
