hostile - Story 66105 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator ride down felt interminable. John pointed out the different features of the company software, his tone flat. He was usually jovial, but today, something had changed. His new trainee, Liam, was taking everything in with a detached curiosity that was grating on John's nerves.

John’s own palms began to sweat. When Liam fumbled with a keyboard shortcut, John let out a short, sharp laugh. It wasn’t a friendly laugh.

He found himself walking faster than Liam, his gait purposeful. He was anxious to get away.
