furious - Story 53895 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The professor’s words echoed in Sarah’s ears, each one a hammer blow. "Needs significant improvement." Her grade for the final presentation, the culmination of a semester's work: a 'C'. She listened, her face blank, but inside, a storm raged.

Her knuckles were white as she clenched her fists. She felt a wave of heat wash over her, starting at her neck and spreading downwards. This was absurd. She prepared for weeks, practiced her delivery, and now this? A hollow laugh escaped her lips, a sound of disbelief.

She waited until the professor finished speaking, then she gathered her belongings, her movements stiff and deliberate. As she walked out of the classroom, she could feel her eyes burning with unshed tears.
