impatient - Story 70470 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The old house was filled with the scent of aged paper and faded memories. Michael watched his mother slowly examine the antique clock, a family heirloom that he needed to sell. He felt a throbbing sensation behind his eyes.

He hated this part of the process, this forced introspection. His leg bounced, a frantic rhythm against the floor. He wanted to be anywhere but here, trapped in this slow dance of nostalgia. He glanced at his phone, then back at his mother. The silence, punctuated only by her soft sniffles, felt unbearable.

He cleared his throat, the sound a harsh rasp in the quiet room. "Mom, are you ready to sign the papers?"
