frustrated - Story 51483 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor’s voice was a sugary syrup, each syllable designed to sooth and reassure. “It’s a great opportunity, a prime location, a fantastic investment.” Amelia felt a headache bloom behind her eyes as she forced a smile. She gripped her purse so tightly her fingers were aching.

She wanted to scream, to lash out, to tell the man that he didn’t understand, that this wasn’t just a property. It was where she learned to ride her bike, where she had her first kiss, where she nursed her broken heart after her first heartbreak.

“Can we just… get this over with?” she cut in, her voice edged with steel. The realtor blinked, momentarily thrown. She just wanted to run.
