frustrated - Story 51446 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So... you like Amelia?" David asked casually, leaning back in his chair. The question hung in the air, heavy and loaded. Liam, who had been meticulously organizing his desk, froze, his knuckles turning white as he gripped a pen. A flush crept up his neck. He wanted to deny it, to lie, but the gleam in David's eyes, the knowing smirk playing on his lips, made it impossible. He mumbled something unintelligible, unable to meet his roommate's gaze. The air suddenly felt stale, thick with unspoken accusations.
