annoyed - Story 6315 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tightness in Clara's shoulders was a familiar sensation. Ever since James started learning German, their apartment had become a linguistic battlefield. He would constantly use the language, even when it was clearly unnecessary.

He tried to use a complex phrase when asking her to hand him a plate at dinner. Clara sighed, placing the plate in front of him with extra force. She didn't respond for a long time.

"Did you know," she finally asked, her voice dangerously calm, "that there are other words you can use for "plate"?"
