enraged - Story 43404 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The attic felt like a furnace. Sunlight, filtered through grimy windows, illuminated dust motes dancing in the air. Michael, sweating profusely, hauled down a trunk, straining against its weight. His brother, Tom, lounged nearby, flipping through old photo albums with a casual ease that was infuriating.

"Find anything interesting?" Tom asked, his voice even.

Michael didn't reply, grunting with effort as he wrestled the trunk open. The scent of mothballs and decay hit him like a physical blow. Inside, layers of yellowed lace and forgotten keepsakes. This was supposed to be *his* domain, his chance to rediscover their grandmother's past.

He slammed the lid shut. His muscles were rigid, his breath shallow. "Nothing of use." The lie twisted on his tongue.
