hostile - Story 66437 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The restaurant was packed, a vibrant tapestry of noise and laughter. Michael watched, a knot forming in his stomach, as waiters delivered plates of "Antonio's Pasta" to the tables. Antonio's Pasta? His uncle's recipe, the one he had spent countless hours learning, was now being celebrated as a culinary masterpiece, with the man who stole it being praised.

He felt a burning sensation in his chest, a rising tide of fury. He watched as Antonio, the thief, moved among the tables, accepting congratulations with a wide grin. Michael wanted to grab him, to shake him until the truth poured out.

He excused himself abruptly, pushing through the crowd with a muttered apology. He couldn’t stay another minute.
