horrified - Story 65570 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You did WHAT?" The scream ripped from his throat, echoing in the otherwise quiet apartment. He stared at his roommate, the words hanging in the air. "You booked a party...on the same day as mine?"

He felt the world spin. His stomach clenched. The casual nonchalance on his roommate’s face added fuel to the fire. He imagined the awkwardness, the division of the party guests, the disappointment. His face burned with a mixture of anger and a sense of loss.

He ran a hand through his hair, pacing frantically. His meticulously planned event, his chance to celebrate, now a potential shambles. He wanted to shout, to rant, to vent his frustration. He needed to get away, to escape. He grabbed his keys and slammed the door behind him.
