enraged - Story 43466 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the ornate sword, his grandfather's, resting on the velvet cushion in the display case. His brother wanted to sell it. The man had only ever been a materialist. The sword represented honor, duty, the things his brother cared nothing about.

He paced the room, his breath coming in short, sharp bursts. The display case gleamed, reflecting his agitated face, a distorted mirror of his inner turmoil. He could taste the bitterness of betrayal.
