hostile - Story 66139 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The courtroom, or rather, the small hearing room, felt oppressive. David sat rigid, staring straight ahead. The words “plagiarism” echoed in the sterile silence. He felt like his blood was boiling.

He clenched and unclenched his fists, trying to maintain some semblance of composure. The lawyer, a slick man in a tailored suit, was explaining the charges. David tuned him out, focused on the fury that was building inside him.

He was being publicly humiliated. He felt a burning sense of injustice, a raw, primal anger. He would fight this. He would prove his innocence.
