insulted - Story 75877 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small coffee shop, where Maya used to take her sketchbooks, now had a poster of her unfinished portrait of a local musician. The picture was of her, and her name was printed at the bottom. The cafe's logo was also printed at the bottom, and the poster was positioned in a place where anyone entering the shop would immediately see it. The barista, with a beaming smile, asked if she'd noticed her work, and Maya just gave a tight-lipped smile and nodded. She wanted to scream. She took her coffee and left the shop.
