outraged - Story 98113 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The leather of the catcher's mitt felt foreign and unwieldy in Liam’s hand. He'd been the ace pitcher for the past two seasons, the heart of the team. Now, Coach Reynolds expected him to squat behind the plate. The world spun.

His face burned with indignation. He swallowed hard. The sky, a perfect, cloudless blue just moments before, now appeared threatening, oppressive.

"But...the pitching..." he managed, the words catching in his throat. Reynolds just waved a dismissive hand. The other teammates stood silently, watching him. He could feel the weight of their gaze, heavy and expectant. His pulse hammered against his ribs.
