hostile - Story 66702 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the window as Mark stared at the spreadsheet, willing the numbers to make sense. He knew they didn’t, and he knew it was probably Sarah’s fault. Her report was always a mess. He felt the tightness in his jaw.

"You went to Camp Clearwater, didn't you?" Sarah said, her voice surprisingly gentle. He barely registered it. He was trying not to scream. His fingers curled into fists.

He took a deep breath, trying to control the tremor in his voice. "Maybe. Why?"

"Small world," she repeated. "I was a counselor there one summer."

Mark finally looked at her. Her face was open, genuinely curious. He didn't want to smile back. He didn't want to be friendly. He felt his head heat up. He clenched his teeth and turned back to his screen. The rain continued to batter the glass.
