grumpy - Story 58768 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The car radio blared a cheerful tune, a stark contrast to the mood consuming him. Richard turned the volume down, letting the silence settle in. He pulled up to the curb.

It was almost too much to bear. The willow, his father’s tree, his tree, was gone. The empty space throbbed. He felt a flash of white-hot anger, a rage he struggled to contain.

He slammed his fist against the steering wheel, the metal of the car absorbing the blow. He wanted to scream.
