hysterical - Story 69828 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The chef, Marco, stared at the menu. The same dishes, the same presentation, the same, *everything*. He had spent a lifetime perfecting his recipes, his culinary philosophy, his unique style. Now, this, this *imitation* had stolen his spotlight.

He felt a sharp, stabbing pain in his chest. His hands clenched into fists. He had to taste it. He had to know how they had replicated his work so perfectly. His legs felt like lead as he walked toward the kitchen.

He felt a sudden urge to run, to escape. He could not run. He was frozen.
