angry - Story 5688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hum of the sewing machine echoed through the house, a constant reminder. Richard hated it. He'd poured his heart into creating costumes, designing extravagant gowns. His son, Alex, however, was now replicating his work, attempting the same projects, using the same fabrics, and ruining Richard's workspace.

“Alex, did you even ask to borrow the silk?” Richard couldn't hide the edge in his tone. The fabric had been a gift, precious, and costly.

Alex, engrossed in his project, barely looked up. "Yeah, Dad, I need it."

Richard turned away, a wave of heat washing over him. He needed to get out, he needed to breathe, the pressure in his head was mounting. He walked towards the door.
