angry - Story 5774 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight in Leo’s chest was crushing. He gripped the edge of the mahogany desk so hard his knuckles ached. His sister, Maya, had inherited the family's art gallery – the one he'd always dreamed of running. He, the artist, the one who lived and breathed creativity, received a box of his mother's old paintbrushes and a stack of unsellable early sketches.

He felt the muscles in his jaw clench, his teeth grinding together. He’d poured his heart and soul into his art, only to be overlooked. It felt like a deliberate act of spite.

"How could he?" he finally choked out, his voice a low growl. The lawyer sighed, offering a platitude.

He wanted to throw something, to shatter the perfectly curated space. He wanted to erase it all. He stood up suddenly, and slammed his hand on the table. Maya didn't even look up from filing her nails.
