angry - Story 5093 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tiny, cramped bedroom was a cage. Liam paced the confines, the worn carpet offering little purchase to his restless energy. He needed to *do* something, to break free from this suffocating normalcy. He ran a hand through his hair, the strands catching on his fingers as if trying to restrain him.

His mother knocked, then entered, without waiting for a reply. He spun on his heel, his eyes flashing. "What is it?" he demanded, his voice dangerously low. He could taste the bitterness rising in his mouth, the metallic tang of frustration.

She started to speak, but he cut her off, his voice rising, "Just…leave me alone!" He slammed the door shut, the sound echoing around the room. He needed to be *left alone* to figure out how to navigate this mess.
