grumpy - Story 58368 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The stale air in the apartment felt oppressive. Thomas felt a familiar tightness in his chest as he walked to the mail. Every footstep felt like an effort.

He sorted through the mail, his face remaining fixed. A birthday card, adorned with glitter and ostentatious fonts, caught his eye. Unsigned. He felt a flicker of something… unpleasant.

He tossed it on the counter, the bright colors grating on his nerves. He turned away from the mail and went straight to the medicine cabinet.
