insulted - Story 75445 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the room was deafening. Sarah had spent hours writing about her struggles with anxiety. Now, everything she’d confided in the pages of her journal was in the hands of Emily, her roommate. Emily was flipping through the pages now, her expression unreadable.

Sarah felt a cold wave of shame wash over her. Every word she’d written felt heavy, burdensome.

“I… I didn’t know you were dealing with this,” Emily said softly, her voice carrying a false note of concern. Sarah’s body felt like lead. She nodded once, then quickly gathered her things, avoiding Emily's gaze. The door slammed shut behind her, echoing with the sound of her broken trust.
