grumpy - Story 58515 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the arena felt heavy, thick. Coach Evans was perched on the edge of the bench, legs jiggling, his teeth gnawing on the inside of his cheek. The silence felt oppressive. He wanted to be anywhere but here, right now.

He focused on the scuff marks on his shoes, anything to avoid meeting anyone’s eyes. He felt a tightening in his chest. He was usually much better at this, but today… He hated this feeling.

He finally stood up, his movements stiff and jerky. He spotted Jake, practicing his free throws. He gestured with a curt nod and pointed towards the office.
