angry - Story 5219 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cold water ran over his hands, but it didn't lessen the heat inside him. He was furious. The shared event with Maria, supposed to be a formative experience, was now twisted into an insult. Her version, a happy, carefree afternoon, clashed violently with his recollection of anxiety and unease.

He slammed the faucet off. The silence was deafening. He needed to be alone. Her interpretation was a lie.

He felt like screaming.

He left the bathroom, the echo of his footsteps amplifying the rage within.
