disdainful - Story 28259 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The flyer, plastered across the university campus, was a gaudy testament to his stolen labor. "Professor Eleanor Vance," it announced, "will be giving a lecture on..." His pulse quickened. *Professor Eleanor Vance.* The name, the image, the sheer nerve of it all.

He ripped the flyer down, his movements jerky and violent. He crumpled the paper in his fist, his knuckles turning white. He tossed it into the nearest trash bin with a sigh.

He walked away, his strides long and purposeful, his jaw clenched. He was done being a victim. He had a plan.
