furious - Story 53858 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer had just left, a picture of polite sympathy. He had handed her the list and left. David sat in the overstuffed armchair, the paper a crumpled mess in his hand. *Run a marathon.* *Write a song.* *Find love again.* The paper felt like sandpaper against his skin.

He shoved the list into his pocket, then immediately took it out again, ripping it in half, then in quarters, until the fragments were so small they could be swallowed by the wind.

He threw the pieces into the fireplace, and the flames devoured them almost instantly. He wanted to scream.
