hostile - Story 66340 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He hadn't been to The Noodle House in a while, but it was *his* place. He'd always known it was there. He'd always assumed it would *be* there. The sign, now, was gone. Just a blank space where the cheerful ramen bowl used to sit. He felt a prickle of sweat break out on his forehead.

He kicked at the ground, sending a pebble skittering across the sidewalk. The world seemed to tilt on its axis. He felt a sudden, intense urge to lash out, to hurt something, to make someone pay for this.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something. He wanted to make *them* feel this. He wanted to make them understand.
