resentful - Story 117258 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The award. The accolades. The standing ovation. All for *her* ideas, presented by him. Mark, the smooth talker. The charmer. It was her moment, stolen and repackaged with a smile. She could feel her jaw clench, her teeth grating together.

She went home and locked the door. The silence was a physical weight. She couldn't sleep, the image of Mark on the stage, basking in the applause, burned behind her eyelids.
