indignant - Story 72340 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread usually calmed her. Today, it only intensified her frustration. The note on the bakery door: "Closed. Thank you for your patronage." She seethed. Her breath hitched.

She'd lived on their sourdough. Their croissants were legendary. Now, just like that, it was over. She imagined the baker, the friendly woman with the flour-dusted apron.

She kicked the door, the flimsy wood rattling in protest. This was an injustice. A terrible, senseless injustice.
