humiliated - Story 67846 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d forgotten the garbage night. The bin had been left outside, and the crows had made a mess. Now, here was Mr. Olsen, pointing at the scattered debris with a disapproving frown.

His cheeks burned. He stammered an explanation, a jumbled mess of excuses. He hadn’t meant for this, for his carelessness to inconvenience anyone. He tried to pick up the scattered garbage as Mr. Olsen watched. He felt clumsy, slow.

He hated it. He hated the way Mr. Olsen’s stare lingered, the unspoken judgment. He went inside, and slammed the door. He was useless.
