insulted - Story 75127 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“But…but I need to get there!” Emily’s voice cracked as she spoke to the gate agent. The agent just stared back, unimpressed. This was the fifth time she had asked if there was anything that could be done. The sixth. The seventh.

Her heart hammered against her ribs. Her sister’s baby shower. This was unforgivable. She imagined the small gathering, filled with laughter and love, and her absence. They probably already assumed she wouldn't make it.

She felt a hot tear escape, tracing a path down her cheek. She scrubbed at her face with the back of her hand, mortified. Why was this happening to her? She felt a hollowness inside.
