defiant - Story 23666 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"I'm going to pass out," John groaned, slumping against the mirrored wall. His companion, Emma, kept hitting the call button, her eyes wide with terror. He glared at her. "Stop it."

He didn't want to think about the consequences of being locked up. He didn't want to think about the meeting he was missing, the deals he was going to close. He didn't want to think about anything but getting out. His jaw clenched.

He took a deep breath. "What's the point? They'll get here when they get here." He began to unbutton his tie with deliberate slowness. He unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. He then sat down on the floor, crossing his legs, and leaned back against the wall, his arms relaxed.
