angry - Story 5325 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The words on the screen blurred as he scrolled through the online review. Chef Esme felt her heart hammer against her ribs, a frantic drumbeat in her chest. Every sentence was a jab, every critique a fresh wound. She felt her face flush, the heat spreading from her cheeks to her neck.

She threw her phone onto the table, the force dislodging a spice rack, sending a cascade of jars crashing to the floor. The sound was deafening, but it didn't even register. She grabbed a towel and threw it across the kitchen, then began pacing, her steps quick and erratic.

Her gaze landed on the oven. The red light blinked menacingly. She wanted to smash something, to burn something. To erase the words, to make them disappear.
