offended - Story 95417 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the art gallery seemed to mock him. Inside the found wallet was a sum that could buy him a few decent paintings. He had spent his whole life saving and struggling to be able to make even small purchases.

He'd been invited to the gallery opening, but he hadn't wanted to come, didn't want to see the people who could casually spend what he worked for all year. Now he clutched the wallet.

He clenched his teeth. The chatter of the crowd, the clinking of glasses, grated on his nerves. He found himself wanting to smash the whole thing to pieces.
