humiliated - Story 67777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer finished reading. "And to Charles," he announced, "The family's renowned art gallery." Charles, my brother, straightened, a look of smug satisfaction on his face. He'd always been the one favored by our parents.

I, Daniel, felt my jaw tighten. I received a small, dilapidated bookstore filled with the worst-selling volumes. The air grew heavy, like a humid summer day. I picked at a loose thread on my sleeve.

The lawyer gave me a perfunctory nod. I wanted to protest, to scream, to lash out. Instead, I simply nodded back, my voice catching in my throat as I whispered a weak "Thank you."
