angry - Story 5248 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the sterile examination room felt thin, suffocating. The doctor, a nervous young man, kept stammering excuses. Liam was finding it hard to contain his irritation. His life had been turned upside down already. This was an intolerable additional burden.

His hands were balled into fists, his knuckles white. He could feel a tremor in his lower lip. The doctor’s voice faded to a dull drone. He felt utterly and completely exposed, vulnerable.

He had a right to his privacy, dammit. He had a right to his life.
