furious - Story 53790 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"That's not right," Amelia muttered to herself, staring at the screen. The carefully posed pictures of the house triggered a flood of memories she’d been carefully trying to keep at bay. She felt a burning sensation in her chest, a tightening that made it difficult to draw a breath.

She stood abruptly, pacing the small confines of her room, her thoughts a jumbled mess. She felt a surge of energy, a frantic need to *do* something. She wanted to yell and break things.

She grabbed a picture frame from the shelf, holding it and staring at the picture within, a family portrait from better days. She felt a pang in her heart. She threw the frame down to the floor, where it broke in a thousand pieces.
