annoyed - Story 6198 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Mrs. Harrison is your teacher? Really?” Michael exclaimed to his son, his voice tight.

His son, completely unaware of the implications, nodded enthusiastically, babbling about how “nice” the teacher seemed. Michael felt a sudden urge to pace.

He stared out the window, picturing the teacher he remembered. The woman who had consistently told him he wasn't bright. He felt a familiar hollowness in his chest.

He needed space. He muttered something about making dinner and retreated to the backyard.
