indignant - Story 72082 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Harold found his hands clenching into fists as he read the note. “Dear Neighbor, I plan to install a privacy fence along our property line…” That was the gist of it. His blood pressure immediately spiked. Privacy? He’d always kept to himself, never bothered anyone.

He felt a familiar pressure in his chest. A sudden need to pace, to do *something*. He crumpled the note, then smoothed it out, then crumpled it again. He could almost feel the cold, impersonal wood of the proposed fence.

His gaze flicked towards the offending house. The Williamsons. Always had to be the Williamsons. He knew what he was going to do, he just needed to think it through first.
