insulted - Story 75997 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Seriously?" Ben asked aloud, his voice flat. He pointed at the screen, his finger trembling slightly. His essay about his grandfather's workshop was on the university's example page.

He knew he should be happy. The essay had gotten him into this school. But now, it felt different. He experienced a sinking sensation in his stomach. He wasn't happy; he was… what? Dismayed? Betrayed?

He slammed his fist on the desk. The paper he'd been working on scattered. He stood there, frozen. He felt a sudden, sharp urge to disconnect, to shut down the computer and never look at the page again.
