grumpy - Story 58318 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air inside the apartment felt thick, suffocating. The day had been awful, and all he wanted was for it to be over. He walked inside, and *it* began.

The unfamiliar sounds were coming from the kitchen. It was a language he couldn’t place, something melodic and complex. He peeked inside. There was Sarah, carefully copying down words from a video, her brow furrowed in concentration. She was learning Swahili.

He crossed his arms, a sudden tightness in his chest. “What is this?” he asked, his voice barely audible.

Sarah looked up, startled. “I’m learning Swahili! Isn’t it cool?"

He just shrugged, the edges of his mouth pressed down.
