angry - Story 5358 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air was thick with the scent of decay. Fiona coughed, waving her hand in front of her face. This was supposed to be her sanctuary, a place to relax. Instead, here she was, sorting through trash.

She tossed a faded tapestry into a growing pile of unwanted items. The previous owners, their callous disregard… it made her feel like something was stuck in her throat. She clenched her jaw, her gaze fixed on the endless stream of unwanted items.

She wanted to burn it all to the ground. The thought provided a small measure of satisfaction. The audacity! Leaving this for someone else to deal with.
