indignant - Story 72335 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The waiter had just set down her usual plate of shrimp scampi, glistening and fragrant, when he delivered the blow. "They're closing down next month, ma'am." Her eyes widened. She stared at the plate, suddenly losing her appetite.

It felt like a betrayal. Years of delicious meals, warm conversations, and now… gone. She pushed the plate away, a wave of heat washing over her. Her hands trembled, her face flushed a shade of crimson.

“But… but why?” she asked, her voice tight, a hint of desperation in her tone. The waiter shrugged, uncomfortable. She felt a burning in her chest.
