annoyed - Story 6317 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The thrumming in his temples was getting worse. This was the third time this week, at least. He stared at his phone. The notifications buzzed with the words of his native language, which his partner, Ben, was now using.

Ben, usually a terrible cook, had made dinner that night. He had spoken, in the language, about the food. He had served it, and smiled.

He got up and left the table, pushing his chair back with an audible scrape. He did not say a word.
