furious - Story 53118 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coach's words felt like a betrayal. "We're going to try you as a libero, Emily." Emily, the team's ace attacker, almost choked. She was the one hitting the spikes, scoring the points. The switch felt like a demotion, a personal insult.

A coldness settled in her chest. Her breath hitched. She wanted to yell, to tell the coach that he was wrong, that he was making a huge mistake.

She bit down on her lip, forcing herself to remain outwardly calm. The urge to flee was almost overwhelming. She nodded slowly, her gaze fixed on the floor, and excused herself from the huddle, her footsteps echoing loudly in the silent gym.
