humiliated - Story 67747 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The worst part wasn't the damage; it was the look on his face. The normally boisterous, gregarious Mark was now a ghost of himself, staring at the debris left by the uprooted elm tree. It had landed squarely on his new, imported Italian sports car. He mumbled something about insurance, his voice flat. I saw his shoulders slump, his eyes welling up. I wanted to say something, offer comfort, but the words caught in my throat. I backed away slowly, wishing the earth would swallow me whole.
