defiant - Story 23354 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor’s voice, saccharine and patronizing, still echoed in Michael’s mind. "Don't bother with the attic, dear. The previous owners… weren't very organized." He'd choked back his response, but the words had ignited something in him.

He slammed the attic door, the impact rattling the house. He was not "dear." He wasn’t going to be told what to do.

He pulled out a rusty crowbar. He started prying at the boards covering the attic window, each splinter a testament to his determination. What was in there was his business. No one was going to stop him.
