offended - Story 95226 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a flush of heat rise up his neck. He wanted to reach out, take the papers from her and burn them. The thought was tempting. Instead, he took a deep breath.

"Why?" he asked, his voice low. He couldn't quite meet her gaze. The whole situation felt mortifying.
