hostile - Story 66676 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Congratulations, Professor!” The words dripped with saccharine insincerity. Liam was forced to watch Professor Ramirez, his advisor, accept the accolades, the praise. Each handshake, each smile felt like a personal affront. Ramirez was leaving for a more prestigious position, leaving Liam to… what? Start over? Find someone else?

He excused himself, claiming a headache, and fled the celebratory reception. The air felt thick, suffocating. He wanted to tell everyone that it wasn't a celebration, it was a funeral. The death of his project, his hopes, his future.
