angry - Story 5376 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Congratulations!” the neighbor’s chipper voice grated on her ears. It was all a façade. She knew it. The forced smiles, the hollow pleasantries. It all felt like a personal affront. She hated the gossiping neighbors and their judgmental gazes. She hated the house, the decor, the fact that she was here.

She gripped the banister, her knuckles white. She was searching for a distraction. A reason to occupy herself.

An odd feeling, while dusting in the attic. A persistent draft, and a loose section of the floorboards. She pulled it back, and there it was.
