indignant - Story 72112 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her fists clenched at her sides. The sun seemed to glare down at her, the stadium lights suddenly too bright. Her stomach churned. This was a joke, right? A cruel, unfunny joke.

She stared at the coach, her gaze fixed and unwavering. "With all due respect, Coach, I'm a forward. I score goals."
