insulted - Story 75516 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Well, at least you tried, right?” That was the first thing Chad’s teammate, Mark, said, his voice dripping with forced empathy. Chad had just been informed that he didn’t make the team. The words felt like a punch to the gut.

He wanted to argue, to scream, but the words wouldn't come. He glared at Mark, the other boy’s pitying gaze fueling his frustration. He balled his fists.

Chad stormed out of the gym, slamming the door behind him. The sound echoed in the deserted corridor, a loud punctuation mark to his shattered hopes. He kicked a nearby vending machine with all his might. The metal groaned in protest.
