frustrated - Story 51588 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Next up, we have a cover of ‘Silent Tears’!” the DJ's voice boomed over the airwaves. Sarah felt her face flush hot, then ice cold. Her song, her heart, being performed by a pop band she despised. She buried her face in her hands. The version was shallow, generic, lacking the raw emotion she had poured into it. She wanted to turn the radio off, but she couldn't. She was trapped, forced to listen to the desecration of her work.
