hostile - Story 66457 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The genetic counselor's voice was a soothing balm, filled with empathy and understanding. He wanted to strangle her. Her attempts at comfort, her gentle platitudes, grated on his nerves like nails on a chalkboard.

"It's a process," she kept saying. "You'll adjust." He wanted to scream.

He leaned back in his chair, his body tense. He refused to meet her eyes. The room was too warm, the air too thick. He just wanted to leave.

He stood up abruptly, cutting her off mid-sentence. "Thank you," he said, his voice tight.

He walked out, the door slamming behind him. He needed air, the wind, something to shatter the suffocating feeling.
