hostile - Story 66075 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gym was a cacophony of grunts and clanging weights, an environment that usually energized Ethan. Today, however, it seemed to amplify his irritation. He saw him, "IronWill," already on the treadmill.

Ethan's virtual workout buddy. They’d pushed each other, shared training regimens. Now, the reality was this guy, probably taller than him, and clearly a little too eager to say hello.

He approached IronWill, forcing a smile he didn't feel. "What, you *work out* in the flesh too?" Ethan asked, the words dripping with sarcasm. IronWill looked startled.
