angry - Story 5882 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah could feel the blood pounding in her temples. The revelation about Mr. Peterson’s vast fortune hit her like a physical blow. He'd always acted so humble, always borrowing a cup of sugar, always bemoaning the cost of everything. And now? A mansion, a fleet of luxury cars, and a summer home in Tuscany. She slammed the phone down after a brief conversation with her best friend, the news hanging heavy in the air. The small, cramped apartment felt even more confining than usual. She paced the length of her tiny living room, hands balled into fists, her fingernails digging crescents into her palms.
