insulted - Story 75949 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It was the poem, tucked inside a book of love sonnets. The character, “Leo,” was described as a man who cared more for his career than for his partner. The verses mocked his ambition, his drive, the very qualities she had always admired about him. A knot formed in David's stomach. He dropped the book, the sound echoing in the otherwise quiet room.

He walked into the kitchen, his hands trembling slightly, and made a cup of coffee, something he hadn’t done in weeks. The bitter taste mirrored his sour mood, and he threw the whole cup away.
