enraged - Story 43214 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The car ride was a silent torture chamber. John gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles were bone white. He couldn’t believe what he was hearing from Michael, his supposed best friend. The story of the stolen car, the night of reckless abandon, was being twisted into something that exonerated Michael, making *him*, John, the villain.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to pull over and rip the truth from Michael's throat. His vision blurred, and the road ahead seemed to warp and distort.

"You think that's funny?" he asked, his voice barely a whisper, the words barely making it out his throat.

Michael shrugged, oblivious, and John was almost glad the silence was broken.
