humiliated - Story 67810 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s office was opulent, the air thick with the scent of expensive cologne and unspoken secrets. Daniel sat across from the woman, listening to her explain the legal ramifications of the will. And the sudden mention of another beneficiary, a sibling he'd never known, cut through the pretense like a knife. He felt his face burn.

His chest tightened, and he fought the urge to bolt from the room. The lawyer’s words blurred together as he focused on the intricate pattern of the rug, trying to ground himself. He felt a sudden, overwhelming urge to shatter the pristine order of the office, to scream and tear at the walls. He sat there, his hands clenched in fists, wishing he could disappear.
