insulted - Story 75464 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s office felt oppressively formal. Dust motes danced in the shafts of sunlight that pierced through the window. Thomas leaned back in his chair, feeling a peculiar pressure in his chest. His father’s antique painting, the one he’d always admired, was to be sold.

He crossed his arms, the action stiff and unnatural. He forced a smile when the lawyer looked at him expectantly, though his gut was twisting. "And what's the estimated value?" he asked, his voice tighter than he intended.

The lawyer rattled off figures, numbers that felt cold and clinical. Thomas found himself staring at a point on the wall, struggling to maintain his composure. This felt like a betrayal.
