frustrated - Story 51904 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cheap dorm room felt suddenly smaller, the peeling paint on the walls mocking. John paced the confines of his space, his steps erratic. Each circuit of the room amplified the hollow echo in his chest. His hands clenched and unclenched at his sides, a nervous rhythm. He threw a crumpled piece of paper at the wall, the projectile falling limply to the floor. The closing of the college felt like the wind had been knocked out of his sails, leaving him in a state of suspended animation.
