enraged - Story 43309 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The casual conversation in the break room turned his stomach. Sarah, the new hire, was bragging about her weekend plans, the expensive restaurant, the luxury hotel. He felt the words pierce him like darts.

He set his coffee mug down on the table, the sound unusually loud. His hands were shaking. He could feel the heat radiating from his chest.

He couldn't stand being there, forced to feign friendliness, forced to endure the casual display of privilege. He got up abruptly, mumbling an excuse, and stalked away. He walked for miles, hoping the distance would calm the storm raging inside him.
