exasperated - Story 47946 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David, hunched over his desk, reread the passage about his penchant for wearing mismatched socks. He could feel a flush of heat creeping up his neck. It was a private joke, something he and Chloe shared. And now, the entire world would know.

He rubbed his temples, a headache beginning to bloom. He pushed back his chair, the legs scraping against the floor. He felt cornered, exposed. He wanted to shout, scream.

He started pacing the room, his movements erratic, unsure of what to do next.
