frustrated - Story 51983 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The realtor’s saccharine smile was enough to set Emily’s teeth on edge. “Think of the equity!” she chirped, gesturing at the dilapidated building. Emily fought the urge to roll her eyes. Her palms were sweating.

She walked away, ignoring the realtor. She could feel a twitch in her left eye. She felt like she wanted to scream. She had just finished painting her living room.

She paced back to her apartment and slammed the door. The sound echoed in the tiny entryway. She ripped the flyer off the door. It was an offensive joke.
