annoyed - Story 6072 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He tapped his foot against the linoleum floor, the repetitive rhythm echoing in the otherwise silent apartment. This was just his luck. He’d spent countless hours pouring his heart out to “MysticMage” about his frustrating job, his dating woes, everything. Now, the enigmatic MysticMage was standing on his doorstep, a goofy grin plastered across their face. Apparently, they were neighbors.

He opened the door a crack. A woman with bright pink hair and a t-shirt that read "I <3 Cats" stood there. Her words seemed to come in a constant stream, a barrage of enthusiasm he wasn’t prepared for. "Dude, I'm so stoked! I knew it was meant to be when you said you liked the same band I do!"

He winced slightly. He’d mentioned that band once, months ago. It seemed MysticMage, or whatever her name was, took everything so seriously. He wanted to go back inside and hide.
