offended - Story 95528 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated on the table, a constant, unwelcome interruption. James ignored it. He was supposed to be at a book club meeting, discussing the author's latest novel. Now, the meeting seemed a thousand miles away.

He felt the tremors in his hands as he stared at the article on his phone. The comparisons, the accusations, the cold, hard facts. It was all a brutal assault.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something. He wanted to unread the words, to rewind time, to reclaim the lost feeling of inspiration.
