enraged - Story 43788 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bright colors of the real estate listing felt like an insult to his intelligence. Michael scrolled through the pictures, each image a fresh stab. The perfectly manicured lawn, the updated kitchen. It was all a lie. He leaned back in his chair, feeling a cold dread wash over him.

He was trembling, his fingers numb. He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. The memories, once comforting, now felt like unwelcome guests, mocking him with their absence.

He wanted to scream, to tear the screen to pieces, to erase the very existence of the listing. He abruptly got up and started to pace. There was a knot in his stomach, and he needed to release it. He would go to the house.
