hateful - Story 61568 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news arrived in a flurry of texts and social media posts. The same date. Two parties. James couldn’t control the involuntary tightening of his jaw. The invitation from his former best friend, Kyle.

He felt his hands clench into fists. He imagined Kyle, effortlessly drawing a crowd, stealing the spotlight. A coldness spread through him, a feeling of being betrayed. A feeling that he'd been mocked.

He stormed through his apartment, kicking at furniture. He wished Kyle would trip, fall, and fail. He wanted to see him humiliated. He felt a surge of satisfaction at the thought of his event being a success, and Kyle's failing.
