hostile - Story 66670 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was stuck, trapped in a tin can with *her*. He gritted his teeth. He clenched his fists. He could feel the pressure building behind his eyes. He hated the forced proximity, the cloying scent of her perfume, the way she kept talking.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to break something. He took a deep breath, trying to regain control. The only sound was her endless stream of trivialities. He could only manage a few short grunts in response.

He looked for the emergency button, again. Still nothing. He glared at the doors, imagining them opening, imagining his escape. He just needed to get out.
