grumpy - Story 58236 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at his reflection, the face in the mirror unfamiliar. Tired. Irritable. The publication had unearthed a part of him that he thought he’d successfully buried. The teenager, with all his vulnerabilities and foolishness, was now the subject of public amusement.

He ran a hand over his stubble, feeling the roughness of his skin. He felt a deep, profound sense of violation. He wanted to scream. He wanted to lash out. He wanted to go back in time and change it all.

He threw the mirror across the bathroom, the glass shattering. He didn’t care. Everything was shattered. He needed to find a solution, a way to reclaim some semblance of control.
