annoyed - Story 6164 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The music was far too loud, the chatter too incessant. Michael felt a tremor of frustration starting in his gut. He plastered on a fake smile, nodding and making small talk with people he barely knew. He hated these gatherings.

Then he saw her. The forced smile vanished. He clenched his fists, his palms beginning to sweat.

She looked… happy. Damn it. He immediately felt that tightness in his chest again. He hated the way he was reacting.

He immediately turned away. He needed to escape the claustrophobic feeling. He grabbed another drink, downing it in one swift gulp.
