outraged - Story 98118 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bright stadium lights seemed to glare down on him, amplifying his discomfort. He, Elias, a star striker, was asked to play defense. The very thought felt like an insult.

His heart hammered against his ribs. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his jaw. The crowd, usually a source of energy, now felt like a mass of judgmental eyes.

He stood frozen, his feet rooted to the spot. He wanted to tear off his jersey, to run as far away from the field as possible. The referee's whistle, previously a symbol of excitement, now felt like a cruel taunt.
