annoyed - Story 6577 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The chipped paint on the swing set seemed to mock him. James stared at it, the metal groaning softly in the breeze. He approached the woman, he was sure it was her, but… “Alice? Alice Henderson? It’s James. We used to spend our summer right here.”

The woman's eyes scanned his face, assessing him, then she gave a small smile. “I get that a lot. But I'm sorry, I don't know you."

James just stared at her, feeling a prickling sensation behind his eyes. He crossed his arms and looked at the swing set, feeling a sharp pang of anger. He looked back at her and gave a short nod.
