hostile - Story 66708 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air conditioning in the office hummed a low, irritating tune. Liam felt his hands clench as Chloe walked by. He knew she knew.

“Camp Timberline?” Chloe began. She was trying to be friendly, but he was not having it.

"Yeah," he snapped, the word sharp. He knew she wanted to talk about it. He knew she was going to bring up that damn canoeing incident.

“Wow, small world,” she continued, oblivious. “I spent a lot of time there.” He looked away, focusing on his monitor. He wanted to scream at her to go away.
