indignant - Story 72367 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The card felt cold and alien in Martha’s grasp. She squinted, the lines around her eyes deepening. Who would send such a thing? She knew her birthday was months away.

She wouldn't rest. Someone, somewhere, had made a mistake. A big one. She would be finding out who. She pulled out her phone, already scrolling through contacts. This sort of thing was simply unacceptable.
