irate - Story 77068 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the library suddenly felt thin, the silence oppressive. Ben crumpled the letter, and tossed it into the trash can. He felt a tremor throughout his body, and his palms were slick with sweat. He swallowed hard, trying to keep his composure.

He pushed back from the table, scraping his chair loudly against the linoleum floor. He felt a surge of energy, a need to *do* something, to break something. He abruptly left the library, ignoring the librarian's disapproving glare. The rejection felt like a personal affront.
