furious - Story 53265 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the car was deafening. Dad kept trying to make small talk, asking about her favorite restaurant, but Jess just grunted in response. Her gaze was fixed on the passing scenery, a blur of trees and houses. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes, the sting of unshed tears. She gripped the car door handle so hard her fingers ached. She wanted to yell, to break something, to make this feeling go away. She wanted to turn back time.
