indignant - Story 72516 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Look, it's just a numbers game," Coach Thompson said, his tone devoid of any empathy. The words felt like a physical blow. Emily's stomach twisted. She’d been practicing her routines for months, perfecting her jumps and her turns. She had imagined the crowd roaring. She'd pictured the elation.

She forced herself to meet the coach's gaze, but her vision blurred. It all felt surreal, like a terrible dream.

She wanted to scream and shout, but she held her tongue. Instead, she just turned and walked away. Every step was a struggle.
