hateful - Story 61338 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread that usually drew Richard to "The Daily Loaf" now turned his stomach. The closure notice in the window seemed to taunt him. His usual morning ritual was now gone. He pushed the door open to the cafe and found an empty, barren space.

He kicked the legs of the tables and chairs. He wanted to break them to pieces. He wanted to ruin the place that had abandoned him. He wanted to destroy it. He left without saying a word, and with a scowl, headed straight home.
