enraged - Story 43620 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a burning sensation in his chest, a white-hot wave of something he couldn't name. He gripped the edge of the table so hard, his knuckles turned white. His father's triumphant laughter echoed in his ears. He hated this whole situation.

He wanted to throw the cake, to scream and shatter the perfect facade. He wanted to tell them all exactly how he felt about their expectations, their judgments, their constant need to control.

He walked to the podium, each step a battle. His vision blurred. He felt a throbbing headache behind his eyes. He could barely breathe.

“Congratulations, Dad,” he managed to choke out, his voice barely audible. He turned and fled. He couldn't take it anymore. He needed to get away.
