humiliated - Story 67454 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s office was cold and sterile. The air conditioning hummed, a monotonous drone that amplified the silence. Emily sat stiffly, her back ramrod straight, listening to the solicitor explain the legal ramifications. The adoption papers, neatly stacked on the mahogany desk, felt like a judgment. She kept fiddling with the gold band on her ring finger, the same band her supposed father had given her twenty years ago. The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in on her as the truth of her life crumbled around her. Her hands had started to tremble.
