insulted - Story 75400 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the book, *Leaves of Grass*, felt significant in her hands. She'd always been drawn to Whitman's free verse. A slip of paper fluttered out. A sketch of two hands holding each other. On the back, a single word: *Together*. She felt the familiar sting behind her eyes. She hadn't experienced togetherness in years. She threw the book into the trash, the action quick and decisive. The book seemed to radiate a coldness, mocking her.
