frustrated - Story 51739 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her teeth ached. She'd been grinding them all day, she realized. Across the country. It was such a small thing, to move. To leave her behind. Yet it felt like the world was crumbling.

She walked into the back yard, hands clenched into fists at her sides, and looked at the garden that she and her best friend had planned and planted together. Now, everything looked bleak, drained of color.

She wanted to scream, to smash something, anything to get rid of this feeling, so she grabbed the hose and started spraying the rose bushes with furious energy.
