offended - Story 95220 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old film reel played in the projector, casting flickering shadows on the wall. Mark watched as his father, on screen, described their fishing trip. He remembered every detail. His father had forgotten.

The video showed his dad claiming he had caught the prize-winning marlin. Mark knew the truth. He'd wrestled with it for hours. His dad had been seasick. Mark had fought the fish.

Mark stared at the screen, a slow burn rising in his chest. He was silent. His face was a mask. His dad had always been like this.
