enraged - Story 43026 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He grabbed the drawing from her sister, nearly ripping it in two. The audacity, the gall of that…thing. He could feel his heart hammering against his ribs, a frantic drumbeat against his sanity. Lily, his niece, was drawing him again: Barnaby.

He took a sharp, gasping breath, trying to calm himself. "Where did you come up with *this*?" he barked at his sister, his voice echoing in the quiet room.

His sister flinched, her eyes wide. He knew he should apologize, knew he was overreacting. But the drawing, the *presence* of that imaginary friend, fueled something akin to a fire in his belly.

He balled the drawing into a tight, crumpled wad, and hurled it into the nearest trash can.
