impatient - Story 70796 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Well, Mrs. Peterson,” the detective said, his voice a monotonous drone. He’d been in the kitchen for over an hour. It felt like an eternity.

She shifted in her chair, the springs groaning in protest. The detective's gaze swept over the newly renovated kitchen, the gleaming countertops, the modern appliances. Her new, pristine kitchen.

“The previous owner… he didn’t exactly pass away peacefully, did he?”

Her fingers clenched. He had a million things to do. She had a dinner party planned for tonight.

"Can we just wrap this up?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.

The detective didn't respond, continuing to stare, unblinking.
