furious - Story 53255 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The university's prestigious award ceremony. Liam was supposed to be there. Supposed to be the recipient of the coveted research grant. He'd poured his life into this project. Now, as he watched the recipient walk up the stage, he felt an icy dread. It was the other person's name that they announced.

His gut twisted. He could feel his face flush hot, his vision blurring slightly. He felt a sudden, fierce urge to charge the stage and rip the microphone from their hand. The room swam around him, the sound of applause grating on his ears. He turned and stumbled out of the auditorium, needing to escape the suffocating air, the polite smiles, the utter injustice.
