grumpy - Story 58735 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the art studio was thick with the scent of turpentine and frustration. Clara had been working on a painting for weeks, but today, her efforts felt particularly futile. Across the room, Liam was already packing his supplies.

She stared at the canvas, the colors blurring before her eyes. The news had knocked the wind out of her.

"When…when are you leaving?" she asked, her voice flat, devoid of emotion. She didn't want to look at him, didn't want to see his cheerful face. She picked up a brush and swiped it across the canvas, smearing the paint into a formless blob.
