insulted - Story 75774 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A bitter taste coated Amelia's tongue as she listened to the probate lawyer. Her brother, Charles, would be taking possession of the family's renowned publishing house, a company built on generations of dedication and skill. He’d always been the favorite, the golden boy. Amelia’s inheritance? A modest savings account, barely enough to cover a year of living expenses.

The lawyer finished, and she found herself staring at the floor. Charles gave a short, condescending laugh. "Well, sis, at least you have freedom. Think of all the… options."

Amelia's fingers curled into fists. She didn't respond, not even a word. She gathered her things, avoiding any eye contact. As she exited, the heavy oak door felt like a barrier between her and the world.
