humiliated - Story 67563 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ballroom seemed vast, echoing with the faint sound of the caterers setting up. Clara surveyed the scene, then clenched her jaw. She'd envisioned a grand celebration, a gala to commemorate her milestone birthday. Her parents had agreed, spending a small fortune. And then, her supposed friend, Brittany, had scheduled her own party. A cheap, boozy affair at a local bar. And now, the guest list of Clara's event was a mere handful.

Her mother's voice, chirping with forced cheer, seemed to bounce off the empty tables. "Everything looks lovely, dear!"

Clara forced a thin smile, adjusting a stray strand of her coiffed hair. The beautiful venue felt hollow.
