indignant - Story 72855 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer droned on about assets and liabilities, but Emily barely heard him. She stared at the list, her fingers tracing the words: "Write a novel." Her grandmother, a librarian? The woman who'd spent her life shushing people? A novelist? The idea was completely absurd.

A wave of frustration washed over her. Her grandmother had always been so critical of Emily's writing, always pushing her to pursue a “practical” career. And now? This. It made her head throb.

She imagined her grandmother hunched over a typewriter, spilling her secrets onto paper, and the thought made her feel… cheated. Betrayed.
