hateful - Story 61706 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“And then, remember the time Mr. Henderson tried to teach us to play the ukulele?” Chloe laughed. The sound grated on Daniel. He wanted it to stop.

He was trapped in the elevator with Chloe, her voice echoing in the confined space. This was the second time in a day that she'd brought up her experiences from the summer camp they'd both supposedly attended. He hated the coincidence, hated the familiarity in her voice.

“Camp Clearwater was… unforgettable,” Chloe continued, oblivious.

Daniel gripped the railing of the elevator, his knuckles white. He could feel his jaw clench. He forced a smile, a grimace, really. “Must be,” he finally said.

The elevator doors opened, and he practically shoved past her, desperate to escape.
