humiliated - Story 67447 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the dorm room seemed to fade as Sam walked in and saw his roommate, David, leaning back in Sam's desk chair, casually examining the pages of his journal. A wave of nausea surged through him. He wanted to vanish.

He felt the muscles in his jaw clench. He didn't say anything, couldn't say anything. The air had become thick, heavy, suffocating. He just stood there, rooted to the spot, feeling exposed and vulnerable.

David looked up, a smirk playing on his lips. "You write some good stuff."
