indignant - Story 72187 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The dog whined at her feet, sensing the tension in the air. He was at the gym, he said. Again. He had been "at the gym" a lot lately. She had been taking care of dinner. The aroma of roasted chicken filled the kitchen, but she didn’t have an appetite.

Her gaze drifted to the table. His phone, left carelessly on the counter, vibrated. She picked it up, her hand shaking. The screen displayed a single, unknown name. She stared at it, the blood draining from her face.

The screen flickered. She looked at the text. “Can’t wait to see you”. She dropped the phone. The dog whimpered.
