hateful - Story 61964 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The list was tucked inside the book he’d given her for their anniversary. "Learn to speak Spanish." "Volunteer at an animal shelter." "Leave him." Each aspiration felt like a personal insult, a carefully constructed indictment of their shared life. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his stomach.

He found her in the living room, curled up on the sofa, reading. She looked so peaceful, so *content*. He wanted to rip the book from her hands, to shatter that tranquility, to force her to acknowledge the hurt she’d caused. He felt a churning, nauseating sensation.

He walked past her, deliberately bumping her shoulder. "Did you enjoy the book?" he asked, his voice flat. She looked up, startled. "Yes," she said, before returning to her reading. He wanted to scream.
