irate - Story 77105 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator doors closed with a metallic clang, trapping Mark in the tiny, sterile box with his replacement, a fresh-faced kid named Ethan. Ethan was humming, oblivious to the storm brewing inside Mark. The air in the elevator felt thick, suffocating. Mark wanted to scream, to lash out, to make Ethan understand the sheer injustice of it all.

He pushed his lips into a tight line. “The first thing is this…” He began, his voice barely a whisper.

He balled his hands into fists at his sides.
