frustrated - Story 51460 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The artwork on the gallery wall blurred before his eyes. It was a private viewing, a celebration of his work. Liam felt a cold, hard ache spread in his chest. He hated to be touched, so he pushed people away. The news from the test had made him want to hide. The people around him seemed to be speaking a language he no longer understood. He turned and walked away from the crowd, bumping into a sculpture in his haste. He had to escape, to breathe, to find some semblance of the person he once believed himself to be. He grabbed his coat, unable to see anything but red.
