annoyed - Story 6117 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cricket coach announced to the team, "Jack, we need you to bowl this match." Jack, who had always been a batsman, felt his stomach twist. He had spent years honing his batting skills, perfecting his stance, and mastering the art of the perfect swing. Now he was being asked to do something different.

He stared at the ground, and felt the familiar comfort of the bat slip from his grasp. The words seemed to echo in his ears. Bowler? Him?

He swallowed hard. He felt a dull ache in his chest.
