impatient - Story 70402 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive felt like an eternity. Rain lashed against the windshield, mirroring the storm brewing inside Maya. Every traffic light felt personal, deliberately designed to thwart her. Her fingers drummed a frantic rhythm on the steering wheel.

Her brother, Sam, was whistling a cheerful tune in the passenger seat. "Relax, May," he said, oblivious. "It's just the house." *Just* the house? This wasn't *just* anything!

The familiar silhouette of their grandmother's house appeared in the distance. The closer they got, the more her chest constricted. She yearned to be inside, to start the sorting, the selling, the *moving on*. The car screeched to a halt in the overgrown driveway.
