enraged - Story 43707 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluorescent lights in the breakroom buzzed, amplifying the tension radiating from Maria. There, across the table, sat Kevin, sipping his coffee and regaling the other employees with a humorous anecdote. She could barely stand to be in the same space as him. Her hands were starting to shake.

She remembered the summer camp campfire. The way he had stolen her favorite marshmallow and then, when she complained, accused her of being a whiner. She couldn't forget. Not ever.

She slammed her coffee cup on the table, the ceramic clattering against the surface. "Kevin, do you ever shut up?" The question exploded from her.

He looked up, surprised, a piece of bagel frozen halfway to his mouth. "What's wrong, Maria?"

"You know *exactly* what's wrong."
