angry - Story 5245 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Clara stood frozen in the middle of the corridor, the offending document crumpled in her hand. Her breath came in ragged gasps. The vibrant artwork on the walls, normally a source of comfort, now seemed to mock her. The audacity of it! Another person's medical history, just… given to her.

She squeezed the crumpled paper, desperate to control the tremors in her hands. The faces of the nurses, the doctor, flashed before her eyes, each one a target for her current mood.

She had built her life on a foundation of control. Now, that foundation was crumbling. The world was tilting.
