frustrated - Story 51147 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The letter lay on the mahogany desk, its crisp, elegant script mocking her. "Pursuing other interests." Eleanor had poured her heart and soul into this project, guided by her mentor, Mrs. Dubois, only to have her suddenly withdraw, leaving her stranded. A wave of heat washed over her, making her palms sweat. She crumpled the letter in her hand. The action did not offer an iota of satisfaction. She forced herself to sit, and then she stood up, then sat down again, unable to find comfort in her own office.
