annoyed - Story 6947 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small, handwritten note, nestled inside her lunch bag, seemed innocuous enough at first. Until she saw the familiar handwriting and the phrase that sent a knot forming in her stomach. “Chapter 12: The Breakdown.” It was from her partner, Liam.

She clenched her jaw, feeling a tight pressure in her chest. She grabbed the note, tearing it to shreds, one piece at a time. The office felt stifling. She couldn't focus on work.

She took a long, deep breath, trying to steady herself. Then, she opened her email inbox.
