annoyed - Story 6620 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at his reflection as he got ready, scrutinizing every detail. The hotel ballroom was already filling up. The clinking of glasses, the murmur of conversation, it all filled him with a restless unease.

The moment he was summoned to the podium, he wanted to run. He looked out at the sea of expectant faces, and he closed his eyes, and just took a deep breath.
