offended - Story 95544 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Mom, can I borrow the car?" Liam asked, his voice casual. His mother, Susan, considered his request, her mind wandering back to the recent bills, the car's maintenance. As she was about to agree, her eyes drifted to his tablet on the kitchen table. It was open to a social media account she didn’t recognize. She scanned the name and was stunned. It was him.

A wave of heat surged through her. It was a whole other side of her son, a side she felt she had no knowledge of.

"No," she said, her voice unusually firm. She felt a tremor in her hands as she folded her arms across her chest. She needed to know more, but she felt a profound sense of distance, a chasm that had opened between them.
