angry - Story 5226 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David found the trove of relics in a closet, tucked away behind a row of moth-eaten coats. He stood frozen, his eyes wide, as he surveyed the contents. The room seemed to shrink around him.

There were report cards, spelling tests, and every single art project he'd ever created. Each one was a testament to his younger self, a self he’d rather forget. He felt the weight of it all pressing down on him.

He picked up a drawing of a lopsided house. He hated it. Hated everything about it. He felt the familiar pressure behind his eyes, a tightness in his chest. He threw the drawing down, the sound a sharp crack in the silence. He had to get out.
