enraged - Story 43803 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone felt heavy in Sarah's hand. The voice on the other end, so calm, so apologetic, only fueled her internal fire. "I'm so sorry, Sarah," her mother had stammered. "I should have told you." The words were like fuel on a fire that was growing within her. A sister. A complete stranger. And yet, connected to her by blood.

Sarah kicked a nearby stool, sending it skidding across the room. She was practically vibrating with some kind of awful energy. Her mother's deception, the years of silence. She needed to leave the apartment, to walk. To feel the fresh air. The injustice of the situation felt like a physical weight, pressing down on her.
