frustrated - Story 51365 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun, usually a source of comfort, felt oppressive against Clara's skin. The silence in her apartment was deafening after the busy day she had. She had hoped to forget the day entirely, but then the mailbox. A birthday card. Unsigned.

She felt a wave of inexplicable agitation wash over her. A fleeting annoyance. She had no time for puzzles or silly guessing games. She was just tired. Bone tired.

Clara tossed the card onto the counter. Then, without a second thought, she threw it in the trash, and went to bed.
