defiant - Story 23049 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The banging started just as Maria was in the middle of a very important Zoom meeting. She let out a sigh. She wasn't going to let them win. She muted herself. She'd pretend it wasn't there.

She was going to be the quietest neighbor they would ever see. She shut off the lights. She never left the house. She stayed inside and did everything she could to be invisible. She would show them she was unaffected.

She'd make them think they were all alone on the street.
