hateful - Story 61815 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator ride felt interminable. Ethan pressed his hand against the cold metal, fighting the urge to pound on the doors. He couldn't believe it. He’d found out that the therapist his insurance suggested was Daniel Hayes. Daniel Hayes! The one who'd tormented him on the school bus, the one who'd reveled in his misery.

His pulse hammered in his ears. He imagined Daniel’s face, that cocky smirk, the way he used to trip him and then laugh. He pictured the way Daniel had, without a second thought, made Ethan's life a living hell. Now, this man was supposed to give him advice? To listen to his problems?

The doors opened. Ethan stepped out, his breath catching in his throat. He saw the nameplate: "Daniel Hayes, MSW, LCSW." He felt a bitter… resentment. He walked towards the door, fists clenched at his sides.
