offended - Story 95590 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The busker's guitar chords echoed across the bustling city square. As the chorus of "City Lights" began, Maya felt a jolt of shock. A copy, a bad copy of her song. The busker’s voice was rough, the arrangement off, yet the melody was there. She stopped in her tracks, every muscle rigid. She found herself clutching her purse. She felt an urge to confront him, shout at him. She turned her back and hurried away, the familiar melody still ringing in her ears.
