outraged - Story 98527 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news report crackled on the television screen, the headline announcing the scandal: “Acclaimed Author Accused of Plagiarism.” Penelope knew, with a certainty that chilled her to the bone, who the author was. And she knew what the accusations were about. It was about *her.*

She dropped to the couch, her legs giving way beneath her. The images on the screen blurred, the voice of the newscaster a distant hum. This couldn’t be happening. She was so angry.

She sprang up and paced the living room, grabbing the phone, but then slamming it down. She felt utterly helpless.

She couldn’t catch her breath.
