enraged - Story 43927 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The latest scan results were tucked into his pocket. He could feel the paper crinkling under his touch. The crumpled mess felt more than just the results; it felt like a roadmap of his future: uncertain, full of pitfalls, and utterly infuriating. He wanted to lash out. He was driving far too fast, as if speed could outrun the turmoil in his mind.

He swerved to avoid a stray dog, the tires screaming in protest. He slammed on the brakes, his heart pounding against his ribs. The dog ran off. A woman, leaning against a nearby tree, was glaring at him. Her face was a picture of concentrated hostility.

"Are you trying to kill us all?" she asked, her voice tight with fury.

He wanted to scream at her. He wanted to explain the pressure he was under, the burning need to explode. Instead, he just shook his head. "Sorry."

She shook her head as well. "It's all terrible, isn't it?"
