annoyed - Story 6914 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived, subject line: "Regarding the Oak Tree." Sigh. Richard knew what was coming. He’d seen the way Mr. Callahan eyed the magnificent oak that stood sentinel on the property line. The man's lawn was perfect, unnaturally so.

He scanned the message, the words blurring before his eyes. "Roots… causing issues… patio… unsightly… removal..." He could feel a flush creeping up his neck.

He slammed his laptop shut, the abrupt sound echoing in the silent room. He imagined the vast, empty space left behind, the harsh sun beating down on the newly exposed soil.

He stood up, pacing back and forth, muttering under his breath. He had to respond. He had to be polite. He really hated this.
