enraged - Story 43690 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the world settled on him. The meticulously detailed miniature war game, a carefully constructed diorama of a historical battle, had been completely reorganized by his son, ten-year-old Ben. The meticulously painted soldiers were now in ludicrous positions, the terrain reshaped to the child’s whims. Robert’s breath hitched. His hobby, his solace, his meticulously ordered world, now invaded.

"Ben, what is this?" he asked, his voice low, his tone flat. He struggled to maintain control.

Ben looked up, beaming. "I made them win, Dad!" Robert clenched his fists, knuckles white. The air felt thick, difficult to breathe. He needed to get away, or he might explode.
