insulted - Story 75429 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang, startling Leo. He opened the door to find a courier holding a shiny envelope. High school. Again. He felt his face heat up.

He closed the door, leaned against it, and slid to the floor. The envelope lay at his feet. He could feel his heart hammering in his chest. They probably wanted to see how he turned out.

He reached for the door to throw it out, but found he couldn't move. He sat there, staring at the envelope, for a long time.
