furious - Story 53559 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The muscles in Sam’s neck were rigid, pulling taut. He felt a cold, hard knot forming in his stomach. He fixed his gaze on Oliver, his stare unwavering, his expression a mask. “I said no,” he stated, his voice devoid of all inflection.

He could feel his pulse quickening, a frantic drumbeat against his ribs. The image of a bird, a *parakeet*, squawking and flitting around his meticulously arranged living space, sent a jolt of pure frustration through him.

He turned away, unable to bear the look on Oliver's face. He clenched his jaw, feeling a tremor run through his body. He wanted to break something, to obliterate the source of this ridiculous situation.
