resentful - Story 117448 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the dorm room was thick with unspoken tension. Sophie had been avoiding Emma, and Emma seemed to be avoiding her, too. Sophie's journal, kept hidden under the mattress, had been rearranged.

Sophie found herself focusing on the smallest of Emma's actions: the way she chewed her food, the way she hummed when she studied. Every little sound, every gesture, seemed to amplify her internal discord.

The bright colors of Emma’s posters on the wall felt garish. The perfume Emma wore seemed cloying. Sophie felt a wave of nausea, and she wished she could just disappear.

She retreated, slamming her door.
