frustrated - Story 51071 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Maya slammed the laptop shut, the metallic clang echoing in her small apartment. Her jaw clenched, and she ran a hand through her already messy bun. Hours wasted, again. Another late night spent trying to explain quantum physics to a teenager named "QuantumQueen42" who seemed to understand everything except the actual concepts. She'd been at it for months, and now, to find out the girl lived in her own city? The audacity! Maya paced the length of her living room, her steps quick and agitated, a knot tightening in her stomach.
