enraged - Story 43517 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news had hit him like a physical blow, stealing the air from his lungs. He sat on the bench, frozen, numb. The coach's bland explanation, the pitying looks of his teammates… It was all a blur. He felt a fire in his chest.

He blinked hard, trying to clear his vision. He wanted to leap up and confront the man, to demand an explanation, to… He couldn’t. He took a deep, shuddering breath, forcing himself to remain seated.

He finally stood, shoulders hunched, and headed towards the locker room. As he walked, his fists clenched and unclenched at his sides. He needed to be alone.
