furious - Story 53316 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clatter of dishes. The aroma of simmering spices. But the laughter - that was the sharpest stab. Leo had been meticulously planning a surprise dinner for Sofia’s birthday, hoping to impress her family who were visiting from Italy. And the sound of them speaking… Italian. He had heard her, through the closed kitchen door, effortlessly flowing through their conversations.

He slammed open the door. The sight of Sofia, animated and laughing, surrounded by her family, froze him. She stopped mid-sentence, her smile faltering, her eyes widening.

His hands shook as he gripped the door frame. “What is this?” His voice was a harsh rasp. The food now felt like ash in his mouth.
