annoyed - Story 6307 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The muscles in Brian’s jaw were clenched so tight he felt a headache blooming behind his eyes. The cafeteria was packed, the noise a deafening roar. He picked at his salad, the lettuce seeming to mock him. He had just read the news, the announcement of the new salary increases. He now knew that Jason, the new project lead, was getting a higher salary than him.

Brian found himself avoiding eye contact, especially with Jason. He felt a lump in his throat when Jason spoke to him. His responses were terse and clipped. He ate his lunch quickly, then left the cafeteria, finding some form of solace in the relative quiet of his office. He slammed his door, only to take a deep breath to calm himself.
