furious - Story 53705 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

His knuckles were white as he gripped the stapler, the metal cold against his palm. The office, usually a zone of comfortable predictability, now felt like a pressure cooker. "Camp Starlight?" he heard. This was the place that haunted his dreams, the place he never wanted to revisit. He turned to face his coworker, the words catching in his throat.

"You knew the place? You knew the head counselor, Mr. Harrison?"

She nodded enthusiastically. "Oh yes! He was such a character! I used to do all the archery competitions. I won the silver every year."

His breath hitched in his chest. Silver. He hadn't won any of the competitions. Not even one. He'd never even been considered. The red-hot anger burned from his chest and up into his face. He felt like exploding.

"That's... great," he managed to choke out. He forced a smile that felt utterly unnatural.
