enraged - Story 43413 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sunlight felt like an assault on his eyes as he crouched on the street. The wallet practically pulsed in his hand. Inside, a photograph of a smiling family. A little girl, beaming at the camera. He felt a surge of something hot and destructive ignite in his gut.

He wanted to rip it up, tear it to shreds, scatter the money to the wind. The injustice of it all, the endless cycle of his own bad luck, boiled within him. The photo mocked him.

He crumpled the wallet in his fist, crushing the family’s image. He wanted to break something, anything. His knuckles were white. He was breathing hard.
