insulted - Story 75668 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator's sudden stop amplified the dull ache in Daniel's temples. He ran his hand over his close-cropped hair, remembering what Susan had said about his 'need for constant validation'. The words rang in his ears.

He pressed the call button repeatedly, his jaw clenched. The feeling of being cornered, both literally and figuratively, was overwhelming.

Susan was humming, seemingly unperturbed by their predicament. Daniel’s knuckles were white from clenching his fists.

He turned away. He couldn't deal with the perceived assessment right now. He needed to get away from her.
