insulted - Story 75818 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the sterile office seemed to thicken with every passing second. Leo, already on edge, read the nameplate on the door, “Dr. Jessica Miller, Psychotherapist.” *Jessica.* The very girl who had made his school life a living nightmare, always laughing at him.

He was experiencing a new emotion he didn't know how to deal with. He was tempted to bolt, to run and not look back. He took a seat in the waiting room. The memory of her taunts echoed in his mind, and he felt a cold dread settle in his stomach. He was not looking forward to this, not at all.

He considered leaving, but the thought of rebooking, of admitting defeat, was even less palatable.
