outraged - Story 98028 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drawing was simple, childish. A small, furry creature with oversized ears, labeled “Nibbles.” The drawing was tacked to the corkboard above the desk of his nephew. He was visiting his sister's house, and the artwork made his stomach churn. Nibbles. It was as if someone had reached into his past and ripped it out, forcing him to relive something he did not want to.

He felt a tightening in his chest. His breath hitched. He wanted to scream. He walked outside, needing air.
