annoyed - Story 6709 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lunch rush was in full swing, and the restaurant was a mess. Amelia just wanted to serve her tables, but Josh, her coworker, was recounting his days at Camp Rocky Mountain. It was too much. She felt a knot form in her stomach.

She ran a hand through her hair, trying to tamp down the rising tide of frustration. The clatter of plates and the general din of the restaurant seemed to amplify his voice.

“And the food was *terrible* but the hikes were amazing!” Josh exclaimed. Amelia stared at him, saying nothing.

She turned and, without a word, went to the kitchen.
