hostile - Story 66411 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The grimy pavement practically thrummed under Leo's boots as he kicked at a loose brick. He’d been having a week from hell, and finding the damn wallet – plump and overflowing with crisp bills – did absolutely nothing to improve his mood. It was just another complication.

He crouched, scooping it up. The leather was worn, expensive. He flipped it open. A driver's license. Name: Marcus Thorne. Address: a gated community. Leo’s lip curled. Perfect.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to chuck the whole damn thing into the nearest dumpster. Instead, he jammed the wallet into his pocket, the fabric straining around its new weight. He’d deal with it later. Right now, he needed a drink. A strong one.
