hostile - Story 66045 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The first thing I heard this morning was the goddamn jackhammer. It vibrated right through my bed. I pulled the covers over my head, but it was useless. It felt like someone was trying to drill directly into my brain.

My knuckles tightened as I sat up. This was all her fault, Mrs. Gable. She always had to be the best, the most modern. This was her third major project in five years.

I threw on some clothes and stalked out, determined to find a way to get rid of the headache. I considered a passive-aggressive note. Or maybe I’d “accidentally” knock over some of their materials.
