frustrated - Story 51777 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small, cluttered apartment felt even smaller now. Liam paced back and forth, the cheap linoleum squeaking under his feet. His sister, Olivia, had gotten the family’s art gallery, a thriving business. He got the family's old cabin, a dilapidated structure in the middle of nowhere.

He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. Every move was now an effort. He could barely contain the urge to slam his fist into the wall. He needed to get out.

He grabbed his coat and headed for the door, slamming it behind him.
