annoyed - Story 6026 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

James kicked at a pebble on the sidewalk as he walked away from his sister’s house. Lily’s latest masterpiece: Barnaby, as a superhero, battling a giant, crayon-drawn monster. It was… a lot. He rubbed his eyes, which felt gritty.

He loved Lily, truly. But he was starting to feel claustrophobic around Barnaby. The constant presence of this childish invention was starting to feel… invasive. He just wanted a little peace and quiet.

He picked up the pace, his steps quick and choppy. He'd take a longer route home. He needed space. He needed a break from the vivid colors and the grinning face.
