frustrated - Story 51936 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Another one?" her roommate asked from the kitchen, sounding amused. She barely answered. She just took the vase and marched into her bedroom. Her jaw was tight. She'd come home to more flowers.

She dumped the bouquet on her dresser. This had been going on for months. This secret admirer stuff was getting old and annoying. She couldn't deal with the anxiety and the mystery.

She kicked the bedpost with all her might. The pain in her foot was a welcome distraction. She had to do something.
