furious - Story 53579 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The scent of her perfume, a fragrance he had loved as a child, hung in the air, a phantom reminder of what had been, and what was no more. He stood stiffly across the table, watching her sip her coffee, pretending he was the stranger she claimed he was. She didn't remember the scraped knees, the shared ice cream cones, the countless hours spent playing on the swings.

He felt a cold wave of something wash over him. His fingers twitched, and he wanted to scream. He wanted to rip the table in two, to show her, to make her feel what he was feeling. He cleared his throat. "I… I have to go." He turned and left, the coffee shop's door sounding like a door slam.
