indignant - Story 72096 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"So, what do you think about doing the dishes tonight?" Her father's casual question felt loaded. He had a perfectly good dishwasher that he never used.

"I have a lot of work to do," he said, turning back to his laptop, the screen reflecting in his tired eyes. He wanted to scream. Dishes? He'd spent the last decade avoiding chores. It was a new chapter, not a repeat.

He heard his father sigh. It wasn't just the dishes, he knew. It was the implied accusation of being lazy and unproductive. He'd never been treated this way before.
