annoyed - Story 6223 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sunlight streaming through the kitchen window illuminated the dust motes dancing in the air. Sarah glared at the overflowing box her mother had unearthed – a box filled with relics from her childhood. She had been searching for a particular sweater, now lost in a sea of construction paper valentines and half-eaten lollipop sticks. A knot formed in her stomach.

She picked up a crumpled book report, the cover stained with what looked suspiciously like grape juice. She didn't need a reminder of those awkward pre-teen years. The sight filled her with a simmering frustration. She felt a strong urge to get out of the house.

"Honestly, Mom," she muttered under her breath, a sharp edge to her voice. "Why do you need to keep this stuff?"
