humiliated - Story 67947 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The words on the page blurred before Amelia’s eyes. Her breath hitched. The story, "The Impatient Wife," chronicled her life with Mark. The main character’s constant rushing, her inability to relax, was painfully familiar. A hot wave of shame flooded over her.

She felt like she was trapped in a glass box, everyone staring. How could he? She felt a tightening in her chest, a physical manifestation of her discomfort.

She rose from the chair so fast that she nearly knocked it over. She needed space, air, anything to escape the confines of this room.
