angry - Story 5826 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“This is impossible,” whispered Maya, her voice barely audible. Her heart hammered against her ribs, a frantic drumbeat against the silence of the university library. She felt a throbbing sensation in her temples. She had invested herself in this, this research. Her thesis advisor, Professor Albright, was presenting at the annual conference, and her data was on the projector screen. It was identical to her own.

Maya wanted to scream. It felt like she had been punched in the gut.

She rose unsteadily, her legs suddenly weak, and walked towards the exit, desperate for air.
