indignant - Story 72233 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The newspaper lay open on the kitchen table, the headline screaming at her: "Local Author's Teenage Diary Sparks Controversy." Her stomach lurched. Her cheeks burned. She felt a wave of nausea wash over her. It was *her*.

She shoved the newspaper away as if it were a venomous snake. The coffee mug on the table rattled. She felt a sudden urge to break something. She gripped the edge of the table, her knuckles white, and tried to regulate her breathing.

She couldn’t believe the audacity. The casual disregard for privacy. She stood abruptly, pacing the length of her tiny kitchen, her hands clenching and unclenching. She needed to do something. She needed to *react*.
