indignant - Story 72038 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the gallery felt stifling, but not as stifling as the feeling churning in Leo's gut. The book sat on a pedestal, a companion piece to the exhibit of his life. "Leo, a man of simple tastes and quiet ambitions," the inscription read. Leo wanted to scream. Simple? Quiet? His artwork had been described that way!

He stormed through the gallery, his footsteps loud on the polished floor. Each inaccurate detail, each misconstrued event, felt like a personal attack. He stopped in front of the window, his reflection staring back at him, the same person, yet somehow… defamed. He clenched his fists, struggling to contain the bubbling anger within.
