insulted - Story 75105 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The newcomer, a fresh-faced grad named Jessica, trailed behind Leo like a shadow. Leo walked her through the mundane tasks, forcing a smile that felt tight on his face. He felt exposed, as if everyone was watching.

He demonstrated the intricacies of the filing system, pointed out the locations of the paper clips and staplers, and gave a tour of the break room. The instructions flowed out of him in monotone. He tried to hide the clench of his jaw.

He caught Jessica’s eye and saw only enthusiasm. It was a stark reminder of his own waning interest, and a fresh pang of… something. He turned back to the task at hand and forced his face into an expression of indifference.
