defiant - Story 23269 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David slammed the door to his room, the sound echoing through the house. The guitar, usually a source of comfort, now felt heavy in his hands. He hadn't made the school band. The reason: not "musically compatible." He felt a bitter taste in his mouth. He’d been practicing for years. He started to strum, the notes at first clumsy, then gaining speed and power. He'd show them what he was capable of. He would write his own songs, form his own band, and they would listen.
