insulted - Story 75045 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clatter of the scaffolding being erected next door jolted Clara awake. It was six in the morning. She buried her face in her pillow, willing the noise to stop. Her own life felt… stagnant, in comparison. The Smiths were building a second story, a testament to their success.

She had been saving for years, and for what? A new refrigerator? Her kitchen was just fine. But now... she didn't know. Everything seemed wrong. She rolled over, avoiding the sunlight streaming through her window. She felt suddenly, inexplicably, exhausted. The day felt like a vast, empty space.
