frustrated - Story 51775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the sterile hospital room was stale, thick with the scent of antiseptic. Mark watched his sister, Emily, laugh with the lawyer. She'd received everything of value: the beachfront property, the substantial stock portfolio. He, on the other hand, had the family's collection of rare stamps.

He gripped the edge of his chair, the knuckles white. His chest felt constricted, as if a weight was pressing down on it. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to rip something apart. He hadn't been able to say anything for weeks. Now he wanted to.

He excused himself from the room without looking at his sister.
