annoyed - Story 6571 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of the coffee shop, mirroring the storm brewing inside Leo. He'd waited half an hour, staring at the door, before finally spotting Liam. Liam, who’d been his shadow throughout elementary school, was now… a stranger. A stranger with a vaguely familiar smile.

"Hey," Leo said, the word clipped. He forced a casual lean against the table. "Liam, right? From, uh, the old neighborhood?"

Liam squinted, brow furrowing. “Liam? Yeah. And… you are?” He gestured for the barista.

Leo’s jaw clenched. *Here we go.* “Leo. Leo Harding. We built a fort in your backyard that one summer. Remember? The one with the ridiculous name?”

Liam just chuckled. “Sorry, man, the name doesn't ring a bell. But good to meet you.” He picked up his latte and gave Leo a perfunctory nod.
