hateful - Story 61014 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dinner table felt like a battlefield. The aroma of rosemary and garlic, usually so comforting, now felt poisonous. He watched his brother across the table, his face alight with some internal joy. He could barely look at him.

He pushed his food around his plate. Every word, every smile, every shared glance between his brother and his newly embraced community felt like a personal insult. He hated it.

He pushed his chair back with a screech, the sound echoing in the sudden silence. He went up to his room, where he proceeded to listen to loud music, in an effort to drown out the noise in his head.
