furious - Story 53814 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Please, have a seat," came the smooth, practiced voice. Ben stood frozen, his fingers digging into his palms. Across the room, sat the one person he’d hoped never to see again: Kevin Mitchell. A therapist. Unbelievable.

He clenched his teeth. Kevin, the boy who’d made his school years a living hell, now wanted to *help* him? The absurdity of it was almost unbearable.

The office was filled with pretentious knick-knacks and an overwhelming scent of lavender. Ben fought the urge to smash something. He’d come here, reluctantly, at his wife’s urging. He’d been struggling with… things. But the thought of confiding in *him* set his teeth on edge.

He forced himself to sit, his legs feeling like lead. Kevin, the ever-so-compassionate Kevin, leaned forward, a polite smile plastered on his face. Ben wanted to scream.
