humiliated - Story 67548 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Michael felt a surge of anger as he navigated the hidden account. His son, Alex, the quiet boy who preferred video games to real-life interactions, was suddenly a social media star. The account, under the name "AlphaAlex," was filled with images of Alex at parties.

He felt the veins in his temples throb. He found himself clenching his fists. There was Alex, surrounded by people, smiling, and behaving in a way that was completely foreign to him.

He slammed the laptop shut, the sound echoing in the silent house. He felt the heat rise up his neck, burning his ears. He was furious, both at Alex and at himself. How had he missed this?

He got up and started pacing. He didn't know what to say, what to do. His insides felt like they were twisting into knots.
