offended - Story 95807 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The photograph, slipped into her birthday card, showed a smiling, sun-kissed woman who was identified as her half-sister. A wave of bitterness washed over Amelia. She'd always been the one who was "too serious," the one who had "failed" to embrace life's joyousness. This woman, it seemed, was everything she wasn't. Amelia tossed the card into the trash, the image of the stranger’s smile seared into her mind. She turned away from the mirror, unable to bear the sight of her own reflection.
