insulted - Story 75583 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Unbelievable," Mark muttered under his breath, watching the YouTube video. The thumbnail showed a smiling teenager holding a ukulele. The song? His. "Broken Promises." It was his most successful song, the one he was most proud of.

He leaned back in his chair, a chill spreading through him. The teenager's voice was thin, reedy, utterly devoid of the longing and regret that he had poured into the lyrics. His stomach churned. Each off-key note, each butchered lyric felt like a punch to the gut.

He wanted to close the browser, to delete the video from existence. But he couldn't. He was held captive, forced to listen to this… this travesty. He swiveled in his chair, stared at his guitar, and then slammed his laptop shut.
