unnerved - Story 158255 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The photograph, featured in the gallery, was hers. The artist credit? Not hers. Her breath caught in her throat. The gallery was filled with people admiring *his* work, chatting and complimenting *his* talent.

A prickle of heat crawled up her neck. She stood in the corner, watching, feeling invisible, dispossessed. The familiar knot of unease tightened in her stomach.

She found herself backing away, needing to escape the suffocating atmosphere. She didn't want to engage, to explain. Her mind was racing, trying to comprehend the blatant theft. She slipped out the door, the cool night air a blessed relief.
