offended - Story 95034 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David, still reeling, pushed the books on his desk to one side. He didn't want to talk to anyone, see anyone. He couldn't eat. Sleep was a luxury he couldn't afford. The biography of him, "David Miller: The Accidental Architect", sat on his coffee table.

He had built a life, brick by brick, and this stranger had come along and tried to rebuild it, using her own blueprints. His phone rang. He ignored it. He felt like he was drowning in a sea of unsolicited opinions and manufactured drama.
