annoyed - Story 6289 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A shiver of unpleasantness went through Emily. It was almost a physical sensation. *Jason Miller* blinked back at her. The name was all it took. She didn’t even need to look at the photo.

She gripped her phone tightly, as if she could physically crush the notification. She wanted to throw it. To stomp on it. To make it go away. The world felt suddenly oppressive, everything too loud, too bright.

She got up and started pacing. Back and forth, back and forth, like a caged animal. She had to get out, she decided. She needed air. She grabbed her keys and slammed the door behind her.
