annoyed - Story 6120 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The swimming coach tapped him on the shoulder. "We're putting you in backstroke this season, David." David, who had always been a freestyle swimmer, felt a wave of icy shock. Freestyle was his domain, the event he loved, the event he was good at.

A sense of injustice, of being robbed of something essential, welled up inside him. The cool water of the pool felt like a taunt. He looked at his hands and clenched them into fists, feeling a tremor in his fingertips.

He forced a smile. "Sure, coach," he said, the words tasting like ashes.
