grumpy - Story 58919 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was finally alone. The house was quiet, the world outside muted. He sat, the silence broken only by the rhythmic tick of the grandfather clock. Then a knock.

It was Agnes from next door, her smile too bright, her eyes too wide. He felt a wave of coldness wash over him.

"Good evening, Mr. Hawthorne. Just a quick question about that enormous pine tree..."

He stared at her, his expression a mask. He wanted to scream. He wanted to vanish.

"Yes, Agnes?" His voice was flat, devoid of emotion. He was barely able to breathe.
