angry - Story 5183 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Who the hell is 'Brenda'?" Mark's voice, usually a smooth baritone, was a ragged rasp. He slammed the phone onto the coffee table, the plastic casing rattling. A shard of ice in his whisky glass shattered from the impact. His chest heaved with each breath, a rapid, shallow rhythm. Sarah flinched back against the sofa cushions, watching as he paced the room, a caged animal desperate for an escape it couldn't find. Outside, the wind howled, mirroring the storm brewing inside him.
