frustrated - Story 51650 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She got up and started pacing. Her steps were hurried and uneven. She ran a hand through her hair, messing it up even more. She felt a restless energy, a need to move, to do something, anything, to release the tension that had seized her.

She bit her lip, trying to control the surge of anger. Her breath caught in her throat. She couldn’t believe this was happening, not now. She was already behind on her projects. She had plans. And now… nothing. She had no plan.
