indignant - Story 72473 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doorbell rang. Another package. This time, it was addressed to someone named "Mr. Harrison." She slammed the door closed, a sharp pain in her chest. Mr. Harrison? She was Mrs. Elara Blackwood, and this was *her* home.

She peered through the peephole. A delivery person stood there. She yanked the door open and snatched the package, shoving it into his hands. “Wrong address!” she snapped, the words sharp as broken glass.

He stammered, “But…”

“No buts!” she seethed, slamming the door. The sound echoed in the silent hallway.
