angry - Story 5924 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Another delay?" Mark’s voice dripped with sarcasm. He glared at the flickering departure board, the electronic words mocking his carefully planned schedule. The airport felt too warm, too crowded, everything grating on his nerves.

He was already late. The specialist's instructions, the dietary restrictions, the constant monitoring… it was all a suffocating weight. Finding another person with the ailment felt like rubbing salt in the wound.

He had reluctantly agreed to meet the other patient, a woman who worked at the airport cafe. She had a calm demeanor that was as frustrating as the delay. He felt a desire to pick a fight, but he didn't.
