annoyed - Story 6664 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tiny space felt like a pressure cooker. Maria kept glancing at her watch, the seconds ticking away with infuriating slowness. She felt a heat rising inside her, a slow burn that started in her chest and spread outwards.

She closed her eyes, imagining the emails piling up in her inbox. The thought was enough to make her stomach churn. The lack of air felt suffocating, making her feel trapped and helpless.
