annoyed - Story 6265 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the car was thick and suffocating. Sarah stared out the window, the passing scenery a blur. Her parents had been so optimistic, celebrating her potential, envisioning her on the top soccer team. Now, she felt a burning sensation behind her eyes, the familiar sting of tears she refused to shed. She twisted her fingers in her lap, focusing on the rough texture of the fabric. Each mile felt like a reminder of her disappointment, the vastness of the world outside a stark contrast to the confining space of her own despair.
