hostile - Story 66849 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The buzzing was back. The droning noise was an annoyance. It had been all day. Carol, usually serene, felt a tremor of something unpleasant. She had tried ignoring it, but it was persistent.

She closed her eyes, trying to focus. But the noise continued. She rose from her seat, feeling a coldness grip her. She would have to do something. She grabbed her keys and left.

She stood at the door, her hand hovering over the bell. But she didn't ring it. Instead, she banged, hard, until she saw the door crack open. "I'm calling the landlord," she said, her voice flat. "If you don't stop."
