insulted - Story 75366 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the small, square envelope in his hand. It had no return address. Just a picture of a cupcake. Thomas threw it onto the kitchen counter. It wasn't the gesture itself, he told himself; it was the utter lack of thought behind it. His birthday was today.

He spent the day staring at the television, flipping through channels, incapable of focusing on anything. He didn't answer his phone. He didn’t eat. The weight of the world felt heavy on his shoulders.

He felt a deep well of disappointment. He felt unimportant. He decided to just go to bed at 7pm and pretend the day never happened.
