defiant - Story 23390 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He saw them, the other woman, and him. They were laughing. The photograph, left carelessly on the kitchen counter, was like a physical assault. He felt a white-hot wave of fury wash over him.

He slammed his fist on the counter, the force of the blow reverberating through the entire apartment. He felt a sudden, almost uncontrollable urge to destroy something. Anything.

He grabbed his keys and stormed out of the apartment. He didn't even bother to lock the door behind him. He needed to get away, to be anywhere but there, to breathe air that wasn't contaminated with the betrayal.
