exasperated - Story 47074 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Daniel felt a sudden urge to kick something. Anything. He had meticulously planned his evening: a new video game, a pizza, and complete solitude. Then, while he was picking up his pizza, he bumped into… Michael. The same Michael from the online gaming clan he’d been chatting with for ages. Michael, who was now grinning at him like they were long-lost brothers.

"Daniel, dude! No way!" Michael clapped him on the back, nearly causing him to drop his precious pizza. Daniel’s shoulders slumped. He just wanted to eat in peace. The evening, he felt, was already ruined.
