grumpy - Story 58453 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee tasted like burnt dirt. David pushed the mug away, the ceramic clinking against the countertop. The results, printed in black and white on the kitchen counter, taunted him.

He ran a hand through his already dishevelled hair, a gesture of exasperation. He glared at the television, which was droning on about something he didn't care about. The news anchor's voice grated on him. He switched it off with a frustrated snort.

He wanted to break something, anything. He paced back and forth, the hardwood floor creaking under his weight. He needed a distraction, something to quiet the incessant, buzzing unease that filled his head.
