hateful - Story 61408 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer had just left. The house felt empty. I kicked a box containing his grandmother’s belongings. My sister, Claire, was in the kitchen, humming. I hated that noise.

She came out. "It's a wonderful gift, isn't it?" she asked. I clenched my jaw. Wonderful? It was a burden. A prison.

I walked over to the window and stared at the overgrown garden, a tangled mess of weeds and forgotten blooms. I wanted to set fire to it all.
