indignant - Story 72199 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David stared at the website, re-reading the teacher profiles. He'd spent weeks researching the best school for his daughter, carefully considering every detail. And then he saw it. "Mr. Harrison - Sixth Grade." His jaw dropped.

Mr. Harrison. The teacher who had humiliated him in front of the whole class when he couldn't spell "catastrophe." The teacher who had given him detention for every imagined offense. The man whose very presence had made David want to disappear.

He slammed his laptop shut, the metallic sound echoing in the silent room. He hadn’t felt this agitated in years. He thought he’d escaped that horrible chapter of his life. But apparently, the past had a way of catching up.
