exasperated - Story 47546 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David slammed the laptop shut, the sound echoing in the silent house. He wanted to shout. He wanted to shake someone.

He grabbed his keys and headed for the door, needing to get out. The air outside was cold, but it felt good against his flushed cheeks. He walked, not sure where he was going. He just needed space.
