hostile - Story 66942 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d left it on the kitchen counter. A careless oversight, or a calculated taunt? Liam crumpled the pages, his knuckles white. The title screamed at him: "The Architect's Apprentice." His breath hitched. He knew, instinctively, it was about him, about their life together.

He found him in the garden, meticulously pruning the roses. "What’s this?" Liam’s voice was clipped, each word a carefully aimed dart. His partner, David, didn't turn around.

"Just a little something," David finally replied, his back still to him. Liam advanced, his jaw tight. He hated being kept in the dark, especially when it involved his intimate life being dissected. He took a few deep breaths to try to contain the rage. He reached out and snapped a rose stem, thorns digging into his skin. He didn't flinch.
