offended - Story 95556 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“But I’ve always wanted a bird!” Chloe exclaimed. Her roommate, Mia, was shaking her head. Mia’s face was unreadable. The smile she’d worn only moments earlier was gone. A chill settled in Chloe’s bones.

“It’s too much upkeep,” Mia replied, her tone dismissive. Chloe felt a deep ache in her chest. This was about more than just a pet; it was about Mia not valuing her desires.

Chloe started bringing home extra groceries. She did the dishes, cleaned the living room and made sure the apartment was spotless, even though it was generally her roommate's turn.
