hostile - Story 66004 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The concert hall buzzed with pre-show excitement. David stalked through the lobby, scanning the crowd. He was looking for a specific individual, someone who had pilfered his most iconic design and branded it on their back.

He found him near the bar, chatting with a group of friends. The mark was unmistakable. He approached the man, his heart hammering against his ribs.

“Excuse me,” David said, his voice flat. The man turned, a look of confusion on his face.

David pointed at the tattoo. "That’s mine."

A tense silence fell over the group. The man stammered, offering a weak explanation, a feeble apology. David didn't listen. His gaze burned into the tattoo, his fingers twitching, wanting to reach out and... to do what, he didn’t know.
