hostile - Story 66254 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From his cramped cubicle, David stared at the website. His code, his logic, his genius, all presented as “developed by the innovative team at Sterling Tech.” He felt a pressure building in his chest. A pressure he tried to ignore.

He ground his teeth, each movement stiff and robotic. He had been promised credit, a promotion, maybe even equity. Instead, he was invisible. Just another cog in the machine. A machine that was giving someone else the rewards of his labor.

His hands shook as he typed out an email to his boss. Every word was a calculated strike, a carefully worded accusation. He didn't want to show any weakness. He needed to be strong.
