angry - Story 5781 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The laptop screen glared at him, the listing’s professional photographs mocking his memories. “Cozy three-bedroom home, perfect for a growing family,” it chirped.

He reached for his phone, scrolling through the saved listing. He saw the new price and his knuckles turned white as he gripped the device. Who did they think they were, profiting off the past?
