insulted - Story 75288 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A chill ran down Maya's spine as she saw the familiar name: *Kevin Thompson*. Her hands began to tremble. Kevin, the boy who'd relentlessly teased her for her stutter. The very sight of his name sent a shock of something unpleasant through her.

She instinctively reached for her water bottle, taking a long, slow swallow. Her throat felt suddenly dry, constricted.

She needed to get away. She stood up and walked to the kitchen, seeking an escape, even if just for a moment, to get away from that name and that feeling.
