upset - Story 160827 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colours of the art installation now felt like a taunt. The gallery had been buzzing with anticipation, and now… well, now it felt like a farce. The artist’s name, another artist. Another creation that looked familiar. She felt hollowed out.

She had spent months preparing this event, meticulously crafting each detail, and now, it seemed it had all been for nothing. The opening was hours away, and the weight of it all seemed unbearable. The taste in her mouth was acrid.

She stood frozen in the centre of the gallery, the curated lighting highlighting the identical pieces. Her legs were heavy, and her stomach felt like it was twisting into knots. Her throat felt tight.

Her assistant tried to offer a supportive gesture, but she waved him away, retreating to a quiet corner.
