frustrated - Story 51735 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sketchbook ripped in her hand as she tried to sketch a portrait, the pencil point breaking from the pressure. "Really, Alex? Now?" The question, intended to be casual, came out as a harsh whisper. Across the country. After all the plans they made. All the concerts, all the movies, all the quiet nights together.

Her vision blurred. The ink on her pen seemed to be smudging on her hands, ruining the drawing, much like everything else. She threw the sketchbook against the wall, the impact doing little to soothe the growing ache in her chest.

She went to the window, watching the rain pour down, mirroring the storm inside her.
