furious - Story 53587 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The manager’s words, a jumble of praise and justification, blurred around him. He heard the music again, a mangled version of his own, and a wave of nausea nearly took him. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to stop the words.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm the storm brewing within him. He sat in his chair, rigid. The air grew stale, heavy with the pretense. His chest felt constricted.

He listened to the manager’s assurances as the song concluded, and the anger only intensified. He stood up, his voice barely a whisper, “I need some air.” He fled into the hallway.
