angry - Story 5649 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The CEO's email was the tipping point. Emily had been on the fence, contemplating leaving for months. Now, the decision was made for her. The email was a cold, clinical summary of her future, filled with hollow platitudes.

She crushed the paper in her hand, the corners digging into her palm. She stood, knocking her chair over as she did. She grabbed her bag and stomped through the office, ignoring the calls of "goodbye" or "see you later".

She didn’t respond to the forced cheer. Her face was set in a hard, uncompromising line. She wasn't going to let them see her cry.
