humiliated - Story 67562 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam stared at his reflection, the bathroom light harsh. He'd poured his heart into this party: a themed escape room experience, the culmination of weeks of planning. Then Mark, his so-called friend, had announced a beach bonfire, complete with fireworks, on the same date. Liam had swallowed the news, managed a tight smile, but now, staring at himself, he felt a knot tightening in his stomach.

He hadn’t expected to be outshone. Not like this.

He scrubbed his face with cold water, trying to wash away the feeling. He wouldn't let this ruin the evening. He wouldn't. But the silence in the apartment echoed his unease.
