angry - Story 5179 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“It's just… incredible how *busy* I've been,” Adrian said, his voice a little too loud, his smile a little too wide. Sarah felt the familiar pressure building behind her eyes. He was the only one in her group who was working from home, and she knew why. The 'CEO' of his own start up was really a coder for an online games company.

The entire group sat around in a circle, and Adrian’s obvious lie was making everything uncomfortable. The gentle breeze felt like a biting wind. She could feel her nails digging into her palms.

She wanted to call him out, make him squirm, make him feel the discomfort she was experiencing. Instead, she took a long, slow breath and forced a smile, knowing that her silence would be worse.
