hostile - Story 66570 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You didn't show." Liam's words, delivered with a smile that grated on his nerves, followed him across the room. Ben turned away, unable to meet his gaze. The relief of staying home, of avoiding the charade, was immediately replaced by a fresh wave of irritation.

He grabbed a drink from the bar, the bartender's casual "hey" feeling like a personal affront. He took a long swallow, the alcohol doing little to soothe the simmering tension.

He felt everyone in the room staring at him, judging him, though he knew it was his own paranoia. He wanted to leave, to disappear, to find some place where Liam's shadow couldn't reach him. The music was making him even more on edge. He wasn't feeling at all happy.
