exasperated - Story 47440 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The band, "The Renegades," slammed their instruments down after the encore. Mark, the keyboardist, stood off to the side, his face a mask. He stared at the crowd roaring their approval for the lead singer, the one who took all the credit for the song Mark had written, the song that was now a radio hit. He felt his stomach twist into a knot.

He felt the sudden, desperate urge to leave, to vanish, to just get away from all of it. He grabbed his coat, pushed his way through the congratulatory handshakes, and slipped out the back door, disappearing into the night without a word.
