frustrated - Story 51866 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"I'm done," Ms. Peterson muttered under her breath, staring at the pile of ungraded essays. Her head throbbed. The noise level during her classes had reached a deafening level. She considered locking herself in her office and not coming out until summer vacation. The thought was tempting.

"To Ms. Peterson, for always believing in me. - Anna." The message was simple but effective. Anna, a student who had a difficult home life. Ms. Peterson ran her fingers over the smooth petals, a wave of calm washing over her.
