offended - Story 95230 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The discovery was made in the cramped storage unit, a place filled with forgotten things. Emily discovered her mother's meticulously organized boxes of her school assignments. As she took out one of the boxes, she felt a sudden dryness in her mouth.

She flipped through a notebook. Her fifth-grade book report on *The Secret Garden*, complete with her teacher’s red pen corrections. Embarrassment washed over her in waves.

She shut the box. It felt like she was being watched, judged. She went to the unit door, took a deep breath, and walked out. She wasn't ready to process this at all. She needed space.
