defiant - Story 23889 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He went inside and slammed his fist on the kitchen counter, making the dishes rattle. He marched into the bedroom and started packing. He packed everything he owned into a backpack and a duffle bag. He would leave. He didn't know where he was going but it couldn't be worse than this.
