offended - Story 95552 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam was practically beaming as he showed Leo the tiny, mewling kitten he'd rescued from the alley. Leo, however, crossed his arms, his smile vanishing. "No. No way." He felt a tightening in his chest. Liam knew he had allergies; this felt like a deliberate slight.

“Come on, Leo! He’s so cute!” Liam’s enthusiasm was grating. Leo stared at the kitten, a ball of fluff that now felt like a personal affront.

The following day, Leo found Liam had left a catnip mouse on his pillow. He threw it across the room and started washing his bedsheets.
