offended - Story 95777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The will was read, and the air in the room turned brittle. Their late mother’s art gallery, a thriving business, was to be passed to her brother, Marcus. The man had always had the natural talent, the eye for a masterpiece.

For Emily, the news was a blow. Her inheritance? A small, struggling bookshop, located in a rundown part of town. The weight of disappointment settled on her shoulders, the words of the lawyer fading in the back of her mind.

She remained silent, her hands clasped tightly in her lap, knuckles turning white. She barely acknowledged her brother's triumphant grin. The room blurred around her, the vibrant colors of the gallery suddenly muted, the artwork seeming to sneer.

She excused herself quickly, murmuring something about needing fresh air, and fled the room, barely able to breathe.
