impatient - Story 70798 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The estate agent had been talking for an hour. Every few words, she would pause to take a sip of her tea. It was driving him insane. She kept mentioning the ‘previous inhabitants’ and the ‘mysterious circumstances surrounding their departure.’ He just wanted the keys.

He stood up abruptly, pacing the room. His leg bounced.

"Look," he said, the words tumbling out, "Can we just skip to the paperwork? I need to move in."

The estate agent slowly lowered her cup. Her gaze was as flat as a tabletop.

"The paperwork, Mr. Harrison, is a bit… complicated, considering the house's history."

He ran a hand through his hair, dislodging a few strands. He let out a frustrated sigh.
