indignant - Story 72610 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"This can’t be right," Mark whispered, examining the photograph. His father, the stoic, reserved man who rarely showed emotion, was grinning in a photo with a group of friends, all dressed up at a party.

His father, who had always preached the importance of hard work and practicality. This image was entirely inconsistent with that carefully constructed image.
