angry - Story 5819 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So," she began, the word a brittle sound in the quiet office. "I heard you're in town." The therapist – *her* – looked up, her expression carefully neutral. It was a face he recognized, and it stirred something deep inside him. He felt as if he was sinking in a bottomless pit of resentment. He couldn't shake the feeling of being trapped.

He shifted in the uncomfortable chair, the leather squeaking beneath him. His fists were clenched so tightly, his nails were digging into his palms. He didn't want to be here. He didn't want to see her.

He forced himself to meet her gaze, his jaw tight.
