angry - Story 5958 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Seriously?” Marie hissed under her breath, staring at the unearthed box. The sun was hot, and she already felt like she was trapped. This intrusion into her present irritated her beyond measure. This was just…unacceptable.

She pried open the lid. Inside, a mix of knick-knacks and mementos. A small, tarnished locket. A photograph of a smiling face. A wave of a strong, unfamiliar emotion washed over her, making her heart pound.

She slammed the lid shut. She felt the urge to kick the box, to smash it, but she restrained herself. The tightness in her jaw was undeniable. She turned and walked away, not looking back.
