hateful - Story 61905 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The librarian, Mrs. Peterson, was chatting away, oblivious to the news. "Isn't the weather lovely today?" she chirped. Daniel wanted to smash her face into the circulation desk. How could she be so normal? So cheerful? The world was falling apart, and she was talking about the *weather*?

He slammed his textbook down on the table, the sudden noise causing Mrs. Peterson to jump. His hands were shaking; he had to clench them into fists to keep from hitting something.

He hated this place, this college, these people, the whole world. He wanted everyone to feel the same crushing weight he did.
