disturbed - Story 33108 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It was the little things that got to her. The way the new hire, Jessica, chewed her gum. The way she always seemed to be smiling. The way she asked the same questions over and over again. Every minor detail was a fresh assault. She rubbed her temples, trying to ward off a headache.

She found herself being deliberately vague in her explanations, hoping to trip her up, to sow confusion. She felt a childish satisfaction when Jessica got a task wrong. A bitter satisfaction.

She started to avoid eye contact altogether, staring out the window at the relentless rain.
