insulted - Story 75153 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The interview had been his, or so he thought. He'd prepped tirelessly, researching every facet of the company, anticipating every question. They had even seemed impressed with his portfolio. Now, the offer went to Emily. He saw her at the cafe later, bubbling with excitement, already making plans to redesign the office layout.

He avoided eye contact as he ordered his coffee, the barista's cheerful greeting grating on his nerves. The way she excitedly described the details to her friend felt particularly cruel.

He quickly finished his coffee. He walked out, barely acknowledging her, the vibrant atmosphere of the cafe now completely alien to him.
