insulted - Story 75205 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I don’t understand,” Sarah stammered, her voice thin and reedy. The tow truck driver, a gruff man with a permanent frown, simply gestured towards the faded sign near the curb. “Violating the HOA rules.” Sarah’s blood ran cold. The sheer presumption of it all. It was her home! Her space! She had taken meticulous care of her property, and followed all the rules. A slow, simmering rage began to build in her chest. She wanted to scream, to lash out, but she just stood there, paralyzed, watching her SUV disappear.
