angry - Story 5331 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news ripped through Sarah like a physical blow. "Closed for good," the website blared, the words a cruel splash of black against pristine white. She slammed her laptop shut, the sudden noise echoing in the quiet apartment. Her knuckles were white where she gripped the edge of the table.

She paced the length of her living room, her steps rapid and uneven. Each stride felt charged, like she was walking on a grid of live wires. The air in the room seemed to press against her, thick and suffocating.

She grabbed her keys and coat, her movements jerky and precise, and practically hurled herself out the door. She had to *do* something, anything to alleviate this simmering turmoil inside. A visit, maybe? A protest?
