offended - Story 95428 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elegant script of the invitation felt like a physical weight in Michael's hand. "Hillside Academy - Class of '84: Forty Year Reunion." He winced.

He felt the familiar knot tighten in his gut. He hadn't been popular. He'd been awkward, misunderstood, and often the target of ridicule. Now... what? He felt exposed.

He tossed the invitation on the counter and began to pace. Every step was filled with a repressed fury. The thought of feigning pleasantries, of reliving those humiliating memories, made his blood boil. He would, of course, find something else to do that weekend.
