frustrated - Story 51751 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The crumpled paper felt like a hot coal in Amelia's hand. Years. Years she’d spent building a life, carefully, meticulously. Now this. The brittle edges scratched her skin as she slowly unfolded it. Her jaw clenched. She tossed it onto the mahogany desk, the gesture sharper than she intended. Sighing, she swiveled in her chair, staring out the window at the manicured lawn. The perfect green mocking her. She ran a hand through her hair, tugging at the strands. The neatly ordered folders in front of her felt like a personal affront. How dare he? How dare he dredge this up now?
