irate - Story 77023 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you serious?" Mark demanded, his voice dangerously low. He stared at his brother, the drawing clutched tightly in his hand. Another drawing of it. It looked just like him, the same three-legged cat with the bowler hat. His sister’s toddler, Chloe, had been drawing the same damn thing for weeks. A creature he had long suppressed.

His brother, a smug grin plastered across his face, simply shrugged. "Kids, right? They've got active imaginations."

Mark felt the heat rising in his neck. He wanted to launch the picture across the room. The sheer audacity of it. The way the creature stared back at him, the same unsettling grin.

He turned and stalked out of the house, slamming the door behind him with unnecessary force.
