insulted - Story 75120 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You're needed at the other side of the field now, Riley." Riley felt a jolt of shock. He had a specialty, his calling. He was a placekicker, not a cornerback.

He stood frozen, his eyes darting around the field. He saw his teammates staring, and he swallowed hard, trying to appear nonchalant. He took a deep breath, but the air felt thin, unsatisfying.

During the next scrimmage, he stood awkwardly on the sidelines, trying to learn the new plays. His usual confidence had vanished, replaced by a hollow emptiness. He felt lost, a stranger in his own domain.
