furious - Story 53928 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hospital cafeteria offered little in the way of comfort. The food, bland and unappetizing, only intensified David's mood. He pushed the plate of congealed mashed potatoes away with a disgusted shove. The entire institution felt like a prison.

He hated the forced cheerfulness of the nurses, the hushed whispers of other patients. He felt a desperate urge to run, to escape this medical maze.

He saw a man at a nearby table, meticulously tearing apart a bread roll. He was doing it slowly. Deliberately.

He walked over to him, his hands clenching at his sides.

“This whole thing is a goddamn joke,” David stated. “You, too?”

The man looked up, his face a mask of weary resignation. “The chondrodysplasia?” he asked.

David nodded, the shared acknowledgment a bitter pill to swallow.
