insulted - Story 75735 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone felt heavy in her hand. “I’m… I’m moving,” Chloe said, her voice small. Liam, her best friend, the person she told everything to, was not supposed to go. He needed to *stay*. She didn't say it, but that was the essence of the sentiment.

“Wow,” Liam responded. His tone was casual, as if he was talking about a new shirt, not a life-altering event. He didn't seem to get the magnitude of this. The sheer weight of this news pressed down on her chest, making it hard to breathe.

She gripped the phone tighter, her knuckles turning white. She forced herself to reply, “That's… great. When?” Her throat felt raw. Her face flushed, but she couldn’t meet his eyes.
