insulted - Story 75119 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ice rink seemed to shrink around Liam. The hockey coach had just said, "We're going to try you at left wing, Liam." Liam had always been the center, the orchestrator.

A wave of nausea washed over him. His stomach churned. He felt a desperate urge to run away. "Left wing?" he repeated, his voice barely above a whisper.

During the next practice, he skated with a newfound lethargy. His passes were weak, his shots off-target. He avoided the puck, seeming to disappear from the play. The other players' expressions seemed to mock him.
