offended - Story 95550 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Where are you going?" Mark asked his son, Alex. The teenager mumbled something about seeing friends, avoiding eye contact. Mark followed his son into the house, checking his emails. He saw a profile, an account, that was not the one he knew. A different life, a different Alex. A feeling of disappointment washed over him.

His hands balled into fists. He felt the blood rushing to his head. He looked at Alex, and a coldness settled in his chest.

“Wait,” he called. His voice was a rasp. He didn't know what to say.
