insulted - Story 75929 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hospital corridor was long and echoing, and Sarah felt the space closing in on her. The nurse had led her to a private room, where another patient awaited. "She has the same… thing," the nurse had said, her voice neutral. Sarah found the other woman, named Claire, sitting in a chair, her eyes red-rimmed.

Claire looked up, a hesitant smile on her face. "Well," she started, her voice sounding frail, "this is… unexpected." Sarah felt an immediate wave of revulsion. The woman's reaction, the forced cheerfulness, felt as though the severity of her condition was being downplayed.

The woman continued, "I never thought I'd meet anyone else like us. How exciting, right?" Sarah looked at the woman, her face a mask. The word “exciting” hung in the air, a blatant misread. She wanted to scream.
