grumpy - Story 58308 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive home was a silent battle against his mounting agitation. The traffic moved at a snail's pace, each red light a fresh obstacle. He gripped the steering wheel so tightly his knuckles were white. He had worked hard.

He replayed the conversation from earlier in the day. The casual, almost dismissive tone of his boss. The mention of the new salary adjustments. And then the revelation about Liam, the new intern, and his compensation package.

He slammed the car into park, the sudden jolt snapping him out of the reverie. He felt a sharp pang of annoyance. He needed to unwind.
