humiliated - Story 67949 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The title of the document, "The Man Who Loved Cats Too Much," made James feel sick. His boyfriend, Paul, was the author. The main character’s obsessive devotion to feline companions was...well, it was him. A wave of heat washed over him, and he felt a strange pressure in his ears.

He felt vulnerable, exposed, as if his innermost secrets were laid bare. He balled his fists.

He went to the window and stared out, searching for a way out, any kind of escape from this situation. He felt utterly foolish.
