angry - Story 5509 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog’s appearance was a daily insult. He felt a throbbing ache behind his eyes, a familiar symptom of his annoyance. He had built this life for himself, a refuge of quiet, and the dog was a constant disruption.

He imagined the neighbor’s reaction, the helpless shrug, the predictable apology. He thought of all the time wasted, the energy expended, the quiet hours stolen. His lip curled.

He stalked towards the canine. The dog looked up, tail wagging, totally unaware of the tempest that brewed in the man's chest.
