hostile - Story 66995 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated on the table, another notification. He didn't even have to look. He knew. Another "congratulations". His essay was trending on some student forum. He nearly broke the phone in half. He hated everything right now.

He hadn’t even realized he’d written anything worth sharing. His essay was a mess, a collection of self-indulgent drivel. Now, every nitwit with a keyboard would have a chance to dissect his failures.

He slammed the phone down, the plastic cracking. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to destroy everything. He paced the room, his fists clenched, the anger bubbling just beneath the surface. He felt as if he was trapped.
