indignant - Story 72137 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The accusation was a punch to the gut. *Plagiarism detected*. Her carefully crafted words, her original ideas, reduced to mere imitations. She felt a wave of icy dread wash over her, followed by a burning anger that consumed her.

She slammed her laptop shut. The action was violent, the sound echoing in her quiet dorm room. The room felt too small, the walls closing in. She needed to get out, to escape the suffocating weight of the accusation.

She paced back and forth, her mind racing. The injustice of it all felt unbearable. She'd worked so hard, poured her heart and soul into the assignment. How could they accuse her of this?
