hateful - Story 61054 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her knuckles were white as she gripped the counter, knuckles ready to slam something. She let out a small, short breath.

The ring. It felt like her. Cold. Alone. The thought of it sitting here in this place, among these things, made her want to scream. She had felt this way before, when she'd found out.

"I need to see that one." Her voice was tight, a thin wire stretched to the breaking point.
