humiliated - Story 67660 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The concert hall felt like a suffocating cage. Emily felt a hot flush creep up her neck. The text, a complaint about her husband's behavior, had gone to the very man she was criticizing. She looked over at him. He was seated right beside her, blissfully unaware. For now.

She fidgeted in her seat, her fingers twitching. The music started, but she couldn’t focus. Every note felt like a pointed finger. She wanted to sink into the floor. She debated faking an illness, but that would only prolong the agony. She just wished she could undo her mistake.
