irate - Story 77079 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A shiver of cold ran down Emily's spine. The library's air conditioning blasted on full, but it did not explain the goosebumps. There, across the room from her, was the person she'd been chatting with online. “History_Buff_1990,” her friend with whom she'd traded stories.

She felt the blood drain from her face. She had shared so much with this person. And now, seeing them in person… it felt… wrong. She felt betrayed.

She didn't know how long she stood there, frozen. Every shared joke, every shared confidence, now felt poisoned. A bitter taste filled her mouth.
