grumpy - Story 58248 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus ride was torture. The crowded air was thick with the scent of stale coffee and something else he couldn't quite place, but found deeply unpleasant. Every cough and sniffle from the other passengers grated on him. He clutched the railing, the metal cold and unyielding against his palm.

He wanted to hide. He needed this to be over. His shoulders were hunched, his jaw clenched so tightly he thought it would crack.
