offended - Story 95870 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the book was considerable. A self-help guide, of all things. It felt personal. Ms. Grant’s knuckles whitened as she picked it up, staring at the cover. The accompanying note was vague, almost insulting. From Lisa, who always thought she was smarter than everyone else. This seemed deliberately obtuse. A slow burn of resentment simmered within her. She put the book back on her desk, the gesture stiff. She wouldn't even look at it.
