outraged - Story 98417 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The wallet felt like a burning coal in her palm. The sight of the money, an obscene display, twisted her gut. She could feel a muscle in her jaw twitch. The gall of it! She had been working herself to the bone, barely scraping by.

She pictured the person who dropped it, probably someone with everything, someone who would sneer at her poverty. Her fists clenched. The unfairness of it all was overwhelming.

She kicked a nearby trash can, sending it clattering down the street. It was a reflex, a primal scream of frustration. She took a deep breath. She could use the money.
