frustrated - Story 51370 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Finally," thought David. He had been waiting all day. He had been hoping. Then, the mailbox. A card. No name.

He felt his lips tighten, his jaw clenching. He already knew who it was. Or, at least, he had a strong suspicion. It was a reminder of a past he couldn't escape, a ghost he couldn't quite exorcise.

He crumpled the card in his hand, feeling a slow burn of anger creep up his neck. He needed to get out of the house. Now. He took a deep breath, and slammed the door behind him.
