offended - Story 95028 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sight of the drawing made Claire's throat tighten. Her niece, Emily, was showing off a drawing of a creature she called "Professor Giggles," a being whose characteristics mirrored Claire's past imaginary friend.

Claire tried to smile, but the expression felt unnatural. She found herself clenching and unclenching her fists.

She excused herself and went outside, taking a long walk, attempting to shake off the unsettling sensation. She felt a deep sense of a loss, of something being stolen.
