annoyed - Story 6815 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The thermostat was cranked up way too high, filling the room with dry, stale air. James felt his skin prickle. He unbuttoned his jacket, even though it was hardly warm. He felt like he was suffocating.

He hadn't slept well in days. The thought of this appointment, with *that* guy, had been plaguing him. The irony of it all felt heavy. He was the one who needed help? And this clown was going to be the one giving it? The idea simmered within him, a slow burn.

The door opened. "James?" It was him. The sight of the man, looking calm and collected behind his desk, only amplified the feeling. James followed him inside.
