insulted - Story 75779 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of old paper and leather clung to the air in the stuffy office. David felt a growing unease as the lawyer continued. His sister, Sophia, was receiving the family's vineyard, a successful business that had sustained generations. David's chest felt constricted, as if a heavy weight had settled there.

"And for David," the lawyer said, “the family’s collection of novelty erasers." He gave a small smile.

David’s face burned. He didn't even acknowledge the lawyer or Sophia, who was busy beaming. He walked out, his steps quick and purposeful, the image of Sophia’s smug smile seared into his memory.
