enraged - Story 43349 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of stale coffee and desperation hung heavy in the air. Sarah found herself staring at the source of her irritation. There it was. Her childhood bear, now tattered and faded, sitting amongst broken toys and forgotten trinkets. A wave of something akin to loathing crashed over her.

“How much for the… bear?” Her voice was barely a whisper, a tremor threatening to break through. The man, eyes narrowed as he assessed the situation, named a price.

She paid it, her movements stiff and jerky. She snatched the bear and strode away, the silence echoing in her ears. Each step was a battle. She couldn't understand why this was happening. It made her head ache.
