enraged - Story 43928 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The support group meeting was a disaster. All the platitudes, all the forced smiles, all the relentless positivity made him want to vomit. He felt the familiar heat rising in his neck, the tightening in his chest. He wanted to stand up and scream, to tell them all how empty their words sounded.

He was staring at his hands, trying to control the tremors when he heard a sharp intake of breath. He looked up and saw a woman across the room, her face ashen, her eyes wide. She looked like she was ready to snap.

"Are we done yet?" she asked, her voice cracking. "Can we just… leave?"

He nodded, a sense of shared understanding passing between them. "I wish."
