angry - Story 5590 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The busker's guitar strummed outside the cafe window. Liam leaned in, his face set. The tune was his, “Wandering Soul”, and the rendition was mediocre. He watched the busker sing, a smile plastered on his face, enjoying his performance.

Liam’s jaw tightened. The busker’s voice lacked the nuance, the weariness, the longing that defined the original. The lack of respect stung. He could see other people enjoying it. He wanted to go outside and scream. He finished his coffee in one gulp and tossed the cup in the trash. He was leaving.
