grumpy - Story 58239 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I can’t believe they did this to you,” his friend said, her voice laced with concern. He didn’t want their sympathy. He didn't want to talk about it. He felt like his teeth were grinding together.

He stared at the untouched plate of food in front of him. He wasn't hungry. Every bite would be an effort. Every forced smile, a lie. He felt a dull ache behind his eyes, a familiar warning.

He excused himself and retreated to the bathroom, locking the door behind him. He leaned over the sink, staring at his reflection, a stranger staring back. He needed to be alone. He needed a moment of peace.
