insulted - Story 75359 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I felt a surge of heat rush up my neck as I surveyed the contents of the box. Old toys. Not just any toys, but the exact toys I had as a child, only… broken. Mutilated. Their limbs askew, their paint chipped, they seemed to sneer up at me. It was like a mocking echo of my own childhood. I hadn't come here to find this... this mockery of my past.

I kicked the box, sending the toys scattering across the attic floor. I felt a stinging sensation behind my eyes. I felt a need to put everything I had into a garbage bag and set the house on fire.
