indignant - Story 72415 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The antique shop owner, Mrs. Gable, clutched the wallet like a poisoned apple. She’d spent her life surrounded by beautiful things, haggling and trading, but never truly *having*. This… this was just adding insult to injury.

She ran a finger over the embossed initials on the leather. *E.H.*, it read. Probably some trust-fund baby who wouldn't even realize it was missing until the end of the day.

She closed her eyes, imagining the lavish lifestyle of the owner. Trips, fancy dinners, the best of everything. The contrast between that world and her own, with its chipped teacups and threadbare carpets, was almost unbearable.
