enraged - Story 43424 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He threw the invitation onto the workbench, the paper landing with a decisive thwack. The scent of sawdust and motor oil usually calmed him, but today, it did nothing. He grabbed a wrench and began tightening bolts with unnecessary ferocity. Each turn of the wrench was a physical manifestation of his internal turmoil.

The garage, his sanctuary, suddenly felt like a cage. He pictured the faces, the popular kids who, at the time, made his life a living hell. Did they think things had just... magically fixed themselves?

His fingers tightened around the wrench until his knuckles turned white. He wanted to break something, to tear down the carefully constructed façade of his new life.
