furious - Story 53653 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee cup shattered against the wall, a brown cascade painting the pristine white paint. "ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Michael bellowed, the sound ripping from his throat, raw and uncontrolled. The text. To the client. "The presentation is a train wreck. We're doomed." He’d intended to send it to his colleague, Susan, to vent. Now, his career, the project he'd poured his heart into, everything was in jeopardy.

He kicked the remnants of the coffee cup across the room, the shards skittering across the floor. He wanted to break something else, anything. His vision blurred, the room swimming. He felt like his head was going to explode.
