enraged - Story 43688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The pristine glass display case, normally showcasing his collection of antique music boxes, was now empty, the delicate mechanisms scattered across the floor. John stood rigid, watching his son, nine-year-old Ethan, attempt to "improve" one of the pieces with a screwdriver and a hammer. His breath came in shallow gasps. His collection was his solace, his refuge from the chaos of the world. Now… destroyed.

“Ethan,” John said, his voice flat. He could not look at the destruction.

Ethan, oblivious, looked up with a proud grin, holding up a mangled cog. John closed his eyes, his head starting to pound. He needs to leave. Now.
