hateful - Story 61410 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The house seemed to shrink with every passing hour. I hated being here, trapped with my brother, Ben. His easy smile, his optimism – everything about him was an affront.

He was examining the ornate carvings on a fireplace, all smiles. I wanted to scream.

He called me over to look. "Isn't it beautiful?" he asked, beaming. I turned away, the words catching in my throat. I couldn’t stand to be near him. I wanted to leave, but I felt trapped. I wanted to destroy something. I wanted to wound him.
