enraged - Story 43316 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the calendar, a knot tightening in his gut. His wife, Chloe, had been attending classes. Spanish classes. Her language. What had she been doing?

He located Chloe in the laundry room, the rhythmic rumble of the machine making a distracting noise. He felt a rage building in his chest. “Chloe, what is this?” His knuckles were white.

Chloe flinched, turning around. “Oh, hey! I didn't hear you come in. How was your day?” she asked, a forced cheerfulness in her voice.

“Don’t play dumb with me, Chloe! What were you doing in that class? What is this about?” His voice was sharp, a weapon aimed at her. The laundry room felt suffocating, claustrophobic.

“I… I thought it would be nice,” she mumbled, avoiding his eyes.

"Nice?" he repeated, his voice laced with acid. The very word felt like a personal betrayal.
