enraged - Story 43392 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He slammed the book onto the table, the old wood groaning in protest. He’d driven across town, fought the traffic, and then hunted for this specific cookbook, hoping to find a hint, a clue, a *reason*. The world was a spinning, hateful blur. Sweat slicked his palms, making it hard to grip the edges of the worn tome. He could barely breathe.

He tore the pages apart. He clawed through them, searching for the key, the answer, ANYTHING. He wanted something, *anything*, to give him some sort of relief.

A single sheet of paper slipped out, a note. He snatched it up.

The script was spidery, hesitant: *If you ever find this, know that I'm sorry.* He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something. His hands shook as he balled the paper and tossed it into the trash.
