annoyed - Story 6226 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you know I saved every single one?" Eleanor’s mother said, her voice filled with a kind of breathless wonder that made Eleanor’s lip curl downward. She gestured grandly at a pile of dusty folders.

Eleanor was already late for her meeting. She’d come home to grab a file and stumbled upon this historical exhibit. The sight of her sixth-grade book reports, filled with her childish handwriting, made her feel distinctly uncomfortable.

She forced a tight smile. “That’s…fascinating, Mom.” She wanted to escape. She found herself fiddling with the strap of her handbag, a nervous habit.
