hateful - Story 61079 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A sense of impending dread washed over me as I walked into the local bookstore. The thought of browsing shelves with "DoomBringer," my online ally in all things pessimistic, sent a shiver down my spine. DoomBringer, who now lived within a reasonable distance, wanted to “discuss” our favorite authors. Each book, each cover, each person, felt like an obstacle.

I felt the familiar tightening in my chest, the clenching of my jaw. The scent of old paper and ink usually soothed me, but today, it felt cloying. Every word that spilled from his mouth grated. I made excuses, eager to leave.
