defiant - Story 23804 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You want me to...what?" Mark asked, his voice strained. His mother's words echoed in his head, a litany of betrayal. His father, the man who’d always preached honesty, had a daughter he'd never mentioned. A daughter the same age as him.

He pushed away from the kitchen table, the sudden movement causing the chair to scrape against the tile floor. "I’m not going," he said, the words sharp and clipped. He wasn’t going to some family reunion, a reunion he wasn’t even invited to.

He stalked upstairs, slamming the door to his room. He needed to be alone. He needed to be far away from this new reality.
