offended - Story 95154 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The celebratory dinner at Giovanni's felt like a betrayal. Amelia, her best friend, had secured the coveted marketing position. Everyone was thrilled. Amelia glowed, accepting accolades and compliments with an almost unbearable grace.

The clinking of glasses, the laughter, the chatter… it all felt like an assault on her ears. A throbbing headache bloomed behind her eyes. Her fingers tightened around the stem of her wine glass, threatening to shatter it.

She found herself unable to contribute to the conversation. Each forced smile felt like a grimace. After the main course, she feigned a sudden illness, offering a weak apology, and slipped out of the restaurant, leaving the revelry behind.
