insulted - Story 75666 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He avoided eye contact, staring instead at the ceiling, at the blank, white panel.

"Well," Mr. Ellis said with an uncomfortable chuckle, "Looks like we are on our own for a bit." Robert remained silent.

Robert felt a wave of anger wash over him. He hated being told what to do. He wished he had just quit. He folded his arms, a gesture of defiance and isolation. He just wanted to leave this place.
