exasperated - Story 47816 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Well, this is just peachy,” Daniel spat under his breath, glaring at the nameplate: “Dr. Kyle Peterson, MSW.” His hands clenched into fists at his sides. Kyle. The one who had always looked down on him, teased him ruthlessly. Now, this pompous jerk was supposed to help him?

He ran a hand through his hair, mussing it further. He paced the waiting room, unable to sit still. Every step he took was full of barely-contained fury. He wanted to smash something. To scream until his voice gave out.

He stopped, heaving a breath. He was probably going to need a therapist after this therapist visit, he thought wryly.
