enraged - Story 43656 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Are you kidding me?” The words exploded from Marcus’s mouth, a raw, uncontrolled yell. The text, a biting critique of his brother’s latest business venture, had been sent to his brother's new investor. The screen seemed to burn in his hand.

He slammed his fist on the table, scattering papers and pens. He tasted bile in his throat. A cold sweat slicked his palms.

He felt the veins in his neck bulging. He paced back and forth, muttering under his breath, considering options, each of them leading to disaster. He grabbed his phone and started to write a message, only to delete it again and again. The silence was deafening, the pressure unbearable.
