humiliated - Story 67690 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The workshop was a hub of activity. My son, Max, was lecturing a group of seasoned woodworkers on the proper techniques for crafting a perfect dovetail joint.

I had spent years perfecting the art of woodworking, finding solace in the feel of wood beneath my hands. Max had taken it to an entirely new level.

He was the instructor, the expert. I was just... there. I found myself wandering over to the door and quickly leaving, the sound of his voice and all the clatter of the tools now a source of deep, uneasy feelings.
