outraged - Story 98078 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread, usually a comfort to John, now seemed to assault his nostrils. The message: "Hey! 'CyberSage' here. Found you at the farmer's market. What a small world!" A small world? It felt like a trap. The person he'd confessed to about his family, his job, everything was *right there*.

He could feel the blood rushing to his head. He gripped the edge of the display table with white knuckles, nearly upsetting a basket of peaches. His stomach churned. He didn't want to talk, he didn't want to acknowledge anything.

He backed away, bumping into a woman carrying a bag of groceries. He muttered an apology and quickly walked away. He needed to get away from the smell, the sounds, the people.
