insulted - Story 75265 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coach's explanation for her omission from the relay team was vague and dismissive. "Other runners were faster." Faster? It felt like her entire season, all the sacrifices, the pain, the triumph of her hard work was swept aside. She slammed her locker shut, the metallic clang a sudden, satisfying release of her frustration.
