annoyed - Story 6234 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office felt stifling. Liam tugged at his collar, feeling the fabric restrict his breathing. “Liam’s Private Journal Exposed!” the headline blared from his boss’s computer, visible across the open-plan office. He felt the eyes of his colleagues on him, a collective wave of silent scrutiny. He wanted to evaporate.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to grab the laptop and throw it out the window. He wanted to burrow under his desk and stay there. He slammed his hand on the desk, feeling the sting in his palm as he tried to contain his building fury.
