annoyed - Story 6335 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The waitress placed a plate of pancakes in front of Emily, but all Emily could see were the bold letters on the diner's placemat: “Farewell, Patty’s Pancakes.” The words swam before her eyes. This place was the cornerstone of her weekend routine, a comforting constant.

She pushed the pancakes around with her fork, the syrup a sticky reminder of what she was losing. She felt a knot in her stomach. She never got to go here anymore, with the new job. And she always loved it so much.

“Everything okay, honey?” the waitress asked, her voice gentle. Emily just shook her head, unable to speak, the sweet smell now sickly in her nostrils.
