disturbed - Story 33083 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Just a fence, Mom," Leo said, his voice strained. His mother sat by the window, her knuckles white as she gripped the windowsill. The sounds of sawing and drilling echoed from next door. "It’s not a big deal."

Her shoulders were rigid, and she didn’t look at him. She stared at the workers next door, her jaw clenched tight, as though they were a personal affront. "They are trying to shut us out," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Leo sighed. He knew this feeling, the simmering resentment that seemed to build within her over seemingly minor occurrences. He put a hand on her arm, feeling the tremor underneath her skin. "I'll make some tea."
