irate - Story 77288 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news, though expected, still managed to affect Sarah. She felt a shiver run down her spine as she read the request. *Trent_The_Terror* wanted to be her friend. She didn't know what possessed him to do that, but she knew it was triggering old feelings.

She crossed her arms, hugging herself. Her lips were pressed together tightly. She felt a deep, slow burn beginning to take root in her chest, making her breath shallow.

Sarah sat down heavily on the couch, her gaze fixed on the notification. She wanted to scream, to lash out. She wanted to disappear. She picked up a cushion and threw it across the room.
