hostile - Story 66368 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bright colors of the card seemed to taunt him. Balloons. Cake. A forced smile of celebration. He ripped it from the mailbox, a surge of heat rising in his chest. Unsigned. Another lie.

He marched back to his apartment, his footsteps echoing in the empty hallway. He threw the card onto the table. It landed with a soft thud. He could feel his pulse pounding in his ears.

He went to the window and threw it open, letting in the late afternoon chill. The city lights blazed beneath him. He wanted to scream at them, at everything.
