irate - Story 77590 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was at a karaoke bar, reluctantly dragged there by friends. He was about to order another drink, when the singer's voice rang out. His song, “Starlight.” He felt a heat rush to his face.

He watched, horrified, as the singer, a man dressed in a sequined shirt, belted out the song in an off-key, drunken rendition. The crowd cheered. He felt a pressure building in his chest, a sensation akin to a pressure cooker.

He turned and pushed his way through the throng of people, escaping the bar. The noise of the music faded behind him, but the feeling of being violated lingered.
