frustrated - Story 51988 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator door chimed, and Chloe emerged, a grocery bag in each hand. The sign was new. She had never seen it before. Her smile faltered. Her heart sank.

She put down the bags. She felt a heat rising in her chest. She needed to sit down, right now. Everything was suddenly too much.

She kicked her door open and threw the groceries on the floor. The bananas split open. She felt the urge to cry. Her life was falling apart.
