insulted - Story 75709 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I listened, feeling a knot forming in my stomach. Dave, my new coworker, was chatting about his adventures at Camp Starbright.

"Oh, it was the best," he was saying, his voice overflowing with self-satisfaction. He was describing all the activities, all the friendships made. All the accolades achieved. He failed to mention any of the, to my memory, less-than-stellar moments.

He turned to me, his eyes sparkling with enthusiasm. "Did you ever go?" I suddenly felt like the air had been sucked out of the room.

"Yeah," I replied, my voice sounding flat. "Once." I quickly found an excuse to leave. I had a headache.
