frustrated - Story 51009 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her assistant, her *assistant*, had showed her. The audacity. A simplified version of her "Celestial Bloom" piece, now permanently inked onto her assistant's calf. Across the room, she could hear the woman babbling about how much it "meant" to her.

Her breath hitched in her throat. Months, she had poured into that piece, every petal a prayer. Her assistant, a thief, a parasite. A surge of venom flooded through her veins.

She excused herself from the conversation, unable to stand another moment. She walked into the bathroom and stared at herself in the mirror. She felt as though she could smash the mirror, shatter it to pieces.
