impatient - Story 70450 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus rumbled, its engine a monotonous drone. Noah stared out the window, watching the city blur past. The bus stop was far away, the destination important. This wait felt endless. His journal had been on the desk.

His roommate, Jake, was scrolling through his phone, a picture of indifference.

Noah's voice was low, edged with suppressed fury. “Did you… did you read it, Jake?”

Jake looked up, his expression unreadable.

Noah’s fingers tightened around the worn strap of his backpack. He needed to get off the bus, needed to escape, and he needed it now.
