offended - Story 95205 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence of the evening was shattered by the grinding of gears. David emerged from the house, coffee cup in hand, to find the tow truck in the process of hauling away his vintage Mustang. His blood ran cold.

He didn't shout. He didn't argue. He just stood there, rooted to the spot, a wave of cold nausea washing over him. The driver, a woman with a severe expression, met his gaze, her eyes devoid of any emotion.

David felt a strange detachment, like he was watching a bad movie. His car, his baby, being dragged away. He knew, deep down, this wasn't right. He would see to it that they paid.
