tormented - Story 152170 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt the muscles in his jaw clench as he saw her laughing. Mark immediately turned away, pretending to be captivated by a piece of abstract art. The cheerful chatter of the other guests sounded like a distant drone. He felt a crushing weight of despair settle upon him.

He stared out the window, trying to focus on something, anything, other than her presence. The lights of the city blurred through his tear-filled eyes. He stood there, lost in thought, wishing he could somehow rewind time, and make everything different.
