insulted - Story 75587 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The talent show. Leo’s daughter, Lily, had insisted he come. He was looking forward to it. Then, the emcee announced the next act. "Next up, a cover of 'Whispers in the Wind' by the very talented… Susan." His song.

He watched in a sort of daze as a woman he'd never seen before, with a voice that was about as subtle as a foghorn, began to sing. She had clearly practiced. She had gotten the lyrics mostly correct. But the feeling was gone.

He felt his daughter nudging him, beaming up at him. He forced a smile. He sat through the rest of the performance, his smile fixed, his insides twisted.
