insulted - Story 75739 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The laughter felt hollow. She was faking it. She smiled and forced herself to respond to Liam’s excited pronouncements of the move. She had been dreading the conversation. Now it was happening. He’d announced his decision with the same air of casualness with which he might announce a haircut.

She swallowed the last bite, stood abruptly, and announced she had to leave. She excused herself, the words tumbling out of her mouth as if she could barely get away fast enough. The air outside was cold, but felt less suffocating.
