enraged - Story 43314 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The voicemail message repeated in Lucas’s head. His husband, Ethan, had been unusually busy, working late, claiming a new project. The message was from a language tutor, confirming Ethan's appointment. The language? Cantonese. Lucas's blood ran cold.

He found Ethan in the study, hunched over his laptop. “Ethan, what is this?” Lucas’s voice was tight, barely above a whisper. He held up his phone.

Ethan’s head snapped up. His face went ashen. "I... I can explain."

Lucas walked towards his husband, his strides measured, his gaze locked on Ethan. "Explain? Explain what? What gives you the right to delve into something so deeply personal, without even talking to me? Who do you think you are?” The words seemed to explode from him, fueled by a wellspring of resentment. The room felt suddenly small, the air thick with unspoken accusations.
