enraged - Story 43306 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Congratulations, Sarah!” The words felt like acid in her mouth. She tried to smile, but the muscles in her face refused to cooperate. Her congratulations were a lie. She wanted to scream.

She clutched her coffee cup, knuckles straining the porcelain. She could feel a cold sweat forming, and she could sense her cheeks were burning. The office felt stifling, all the open plans designed to cultivate harmony now felt like a cage.

She made her excuses and retreated to the break room, needing to be alone. The vending machine rattled, and she punched in the wrong number. She felt a surge of pure frustration, and she hit the machine again, harder, until the candy bar finally fell.
