hostile - Story 66042 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A vein throbbed in Michael’s forehead as the circular saw whined to life. He slammed the car door shut with unnecessary force, the metallic *clang* barely audible over the din. He hated this. Hated the dust, the noise, the sheer audacity of it.

He imagined the smug grin plastered on Mr. Henderson's face as he surveyed his "improvements." That man was a menace, always showing off, always needing the latest and greatest. The nerve of him to think he could just… decide to remodel!

He stomped inside, bypassing the welcoming aroma of his wife’s baking. He needed to be alone, to brood. He ripped open a beer, the top popping with a violent hiss.
