humiliated - Story 67593 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, they passed, huh?" Sarah's friend, Lisa, asked, leaning against the doorframe, a casual look on her face. Sarah clenched her jaw, feeling a tightening in her chest. She forced a smile, a brittle, fragile thing. “Yeah,” she said, her voice sounding thin, almost reedy. She busied herself with rearranging a stack of books, the movement a desperate attempt to regain control. The silence in the room was deafening, amplified by the gentle tick of the clock on the wall. She felt like a specimen, pinned and labeled.
