furious - Story 53309 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I saw it during the Christmas party. The new guy, Brad, chatting with the boss, practically radiating confidence. I had been working at the company for 8 years, and my promotion was perpetually "in progress". Now, Brad had just been hired, and was getting all the attention.

The drinks tasted flat, the music a meaningless drone. I excused myself and went to the back patio, the cold night air doing little to soothe the tightness in my chest. I watched the party, an outsider looking in.

"Everything okay?" my wife asked, joining me.

I shrugged, unable to speak. The injustice felt like a physical weight.
