frustrated - Story 51372 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam slammed the door, the sound echoing through the cavernous hallway of the old Victorian. The realtor had called it "charming"; he called it a money pit. The leaky faucets, the uneven floors, the constant drafts… it was all testing his limits. He'd been looking forward to a relaxing evening, and the damn plumbing had other ideas.

He wrenched at the wall paneling in the library, his knuckles white. The old house had a musty odor that was getting to him, and he just wanted to be done. A sharp crack, and a section of wood gave way. Behind it, a darkened recess. He felt a tense tightening in his chest.

“Well, what fresh hell is this?” he mumbled, rubbing his temples, as he peered into the newly revealed space.
