indignant - Story 72425 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The photograph on the invitation, a group shot from senior year, triggered a wave of nausea. Sarah slammed the photo album shut, a violent gesture. It was absurd. Absolutely absurd. Did they even know what she'd accomplished? How she had climbed to the top of her profession?

She paced the living room, her steps quick and agitated. The invitation felt like a physical weight, pressing down on her. The people in that photo, those *people* had underestimated her, had dismissed her dreams. She felt a furious heat rise within her. She'd show them. Or rather, she wouldn't show them at all.
