insulted - Story 75364 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The card was tucked inside a package of junk mail. David glanced at it with casual curiosity, then froze. It was the type of card his ex-wife used to send. He felt a sudden, sharp pang of… something. He ripped it open. The handwriting was unfamiliar.

He reread the generic message, then tossed the card on the table, a sudden wave of heat washing over him. What was the point? He stormed out of his house.

He ended up at the local pub, downing shot after shot of whiskey, his face growing redder with each passing minute. The card, and the implications behind it, gnawed at him. He felt… sidelined.
