insulted - Story 75110 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The new guy, Ben, bounced into the office, all enthusiasm and eagerness. He gave a wide grin at Alice. Alice didn't return the smile. She had been here for eight years, and now this… this was happening.

She walked Ben through the workflow, her voice flat and emotionless. She made sure not to elaborate on anything. The procedures. The clients. The nuances.

She kept her answers short and to the point. Ben didn't seem to notice. The knot in her stomach tightened with each passing minute. She focused on the task at hand. It was the only thing she could do.
