humiliated - Story 67589 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He had walked in the bar, ready to have a drink after a long day of work, but the music stopped him in his tracks. A familiar tune, but not his voice. Not his feeling.

The air outside was cold, but it didn't lessen the strange heat that was building inside him. He didn’t look back.
