hostile - Story 66318 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The restaurant buzzed with conversation, but to him, it was a dull roar. He watched as his wife, Lena, effortlessly translated a phrase for the waitress. It was Korean, a language she had never expressed an interest in. He had noticed her new enthusiasm for K-dramas, for Korean cuisine, her hidden notes, her whispered conversations.

He felt the muscles in his jaw tighten. He didn't speak. He stared at his plate, the food suddenly unappetizing. He didn't want this to be part of their lives.

Lena turned to him, smiling, and asked, "How's your bibimbap, love?" Her tone was bright, almost too bright. He felt like he was being mocked.
