indignant - Story 72240 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The physical sensation was immediate: a burning in her cheeks, a tightening in her chest. *Her* diary. Published. Online. The publisher hadn't even had the courtesy to inform her. She was livid.

She paced her living room, her steps quick and agitated. She yanked open a drawer, searching for something, anything, to channel this feeling. She finally found a pair of old boxing gloves.

She started punching, her knuckles connecting with a heavy bag she kept in the corner. Each blow was fueled by the fury, the sense of violation. This wasn’t over. Not by a long shot.
