offended - Story 95075 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pizza place buzzed with weekend chatter. Across the checkered tablecloth, Emily watched as Michael, her online best friend of two years, laughed with his friends. He’d never mentioned he *had* friends. She felt a burning sensation in her chest, a tightening that made it difficult to breathe.

She'd spent countless hours sharing her dreams, her fears, her life with this Michael. He'd painted himself as a lonely artist, a kindred spirit. Now, seeing him surrounded by friends and enjoying himself, felt like a deliberate lie.

Her appetite vanished. She picked at the crust of her pizza, her gaze fixed on the laughing group. The jovial atmosphere now felt like an accusation.
