frustrated - Story 51123 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The airport felt like a pressure cooker. Maria kept fanning herself with a crumpled magazine, a futile attempt to cool the rising heat within her. Sweat beaded on her forehead. Every announcement over the loudspeaker felt like a deliberate personal attack. Her stomach churned. She should be at the gallery, overseeing the opening night of her exhibition. Instead, she was stuck in this purgatory of stale air and delayed flights. She considered calling her assistant, but the thought of the conversation, of the apologetic tone, made her stomach lurch again.
