frustrated - Story 51912 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He slammed the door with more force than intended. The frame rattled. The request from the neighbor, Mr. Henderson, still echoed in his ears. The man wanted the tree gone. Gone! It was absurd.

He paced the length of his living room, a restless energy coursing through him. Sunlight, filtered by the leaves, dappled the floor, a shifting mosaic of light and shadow. The thought of chopping the tree down, the beautiful, tall, old tree, made his stomach clench.

He ran a hand through his already disheveled hair, muttering under his breath. He had a million things to do. He didn't have time for this. He needed the tree. It was the only barrier between him and the annoying world.
