annoyed - Story 6932 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows, mirroring the tempest brewing inside Mark. He'd been looking forward to a quiet evening of spreadsheets and lukewarm pizza. Then, a knock. More flowers. This time, an arrangement of exotic lilies, smelling faintly of funeral homes. No note.

He grabbed the vase, the glass slick with moisture, and unceremoniously dumped the lilies on the counter. The petals, vibrant and fragile, seemed to mock him with their beauty. His fingers itched with an urge to crumple the delivery slip, to rip it to shreds. Who sent these, and why? Another mystery to add to his already overflowing plate.
