shocked - Story 132434 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news anchor’s voice droned on, but Eleanor couldn't focus on the daily headlines. A split-second clip flashed across the screen: a close-up of a new line of gourmet dog biscuits. Her breath caught in her throat. The recipe, the packaging, the logo - it was all identical. It was her product.

Her stomach lurched. The woman on the screen, a slick, self-assured businesswoman, gushed about her "revolutionary" dog treat. Eleanor's hands started to tremble uncontrollably. This was her livelihood, her small business, built from scratch.

She felt a sudden, desperate urge to flee, to disappear. She grabbed her purse and stumbled towards the door, the anchor's words echoing in her ears like a cruel joke.
