resentful - Story 117623 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world tilted slightly on its axis for Chloe when she saw Mrs. Davies, her art teacher, was now connected to her on Facebook. It was an intrusion, a blurring of lines that felt deeply wrong. She’d posted unflattering selfies, rants about her parents, and a whole slew of memes she was embarrassed about.

Chloe started skipping art class. When she was forced to attend, she was curt and uncooperative, snapping at Mrs. Davies’s attempts to offer constructive criticism. The art studio, once a haven, now felt like a cage, the bright colors and creative energy mocking her. She felt a burning need to be distant.
