humiliated - Story 67522 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of the coffee shop, mirroring the storm brewing inside Thomas. He'd just seen the interview, the one where his literary idol, Evelyn Reed, casually mentioned the "inspiration" behind her new novella. It was the exact plot of his unpublished manuscript, down to the obscure historical detail he’d painstakingly researched.

He took a large gulp of the bitter coffee, grimacing. A wave of nausea rolled over him. He felt like he'd been punched. He closed his eyes, then opened them again, the bustling café suddenly seeming incredibly loud and irritating. He should leave. Now.

He fumbled for his coat, bumping into a table as he stood. He mumbled an apology, avoiding eye contact. He just wanted to disappear.
