insulted - Story 75868 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The oversized, novelty coffee mug, adorned with the words "World's Greatest Teacher," was a slap in the face. Mr. Chen, a seasoned educator, stared at it, his lips pursed. It was from Michael, a student who had once loudly declared, in front of the entire class, that Mr. Chen's lessons were "boring as hell."

He clenched his jaw, his knuckles turning white as he gripped the mug. He felt a wave of dizziness wash over him. He needed to be strong. He placed it carefully on his desk.

He looked around his cluttered classroom. The chairs were arranged neatly, the whiteboard clean. The air felt heavy. He looked down at his hands, then back up to the mug.
