annoyed - Story 6127 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The boarding gate agent's smile felt like a personal insult. "Another delay, sir." The woman's voice was bright, chirpy, and infuriating. John stared at her. His wedding was happening in a few hours. The vows, the first dance, the party - all without him. He felt as if he had been punched.

He ran his hand through his hair, which felt suddenly damp with sweat. He wanted to yell, to scream, but he forced himself to breathe. He grabbed his bag, and went back to his seat.

He re-read the wedding invitation in his hand, a reminder of what he was missing.
