hostile - Story 66009 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The café was unusually crowded. He waited in line, his gaze constantly scanning the room. He was hunting for a specific target. Then he saw it: the familiar shape, the colors, his art. Tattooed on a server's arm.

He felt the blood drain from his face. He watched as the server, cheerful and efficient, poured coffee and took orders. It was a mockery.

When it was his turn, he approached the counter. His voice was steady, but cold. "That tattoo," he said, gesturing towards the woman's arm. "That's my work."

The server’s smile faltered. He didn’t wait for a response. He just walked away, feeling a mixture of emptiness and a volatile energy surge within him.
