frustrated - Story 51780 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old bookshop, filled with the scent of aged paper and leather, felt oppressive. Eliza gripped her hands so tightly her nails bit into her palms. Her brother, Daniel, had received the family's collection of rare first editions. She was left with the bookshop itself, a business that was barely staying afloat.

She scanned the room, each dusty shelf a reminder of her disappointment. Her cheeks flushed. She felt a tremor run through her.

She forced herself to take a deep breath. She had been left with nothing but a dream.
