insulted - Story 75395 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flickering gaslight of the library cast long shadows as Charles turned the pages of *The Count of Monte Cristo*. A love letter tumbled out. He’d always loved the dramatic flair of Dumas's work. The letter was a confession of love, a declaration of a bond he’d never known. His shoulders slumped. He felt a sudden, sharp ache in his chest. It was a feeling of being… diminished. He carefully folded the letter, then pushed the book away, his appetite for adventure suddenly gone.
