irate - Story 77290 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Seriously?" Elena asked out loud to an empty room. Her voice was sharp, a weaponized whisper. She could feel her pulse racing, a frantic drumbeat in her ears. *Victor_The_Vile* wished to connect with her.

She grabbed a nearby pillow and hurled it across the room, the soft object doing little to relieve the tension that was building within her. The air in the room felt thick, heavy.

Elena began to pace, her movements jerky and erratic. She chewed on her lip, a habit she'd thought she'd broken years ago. This was beyond belief. This was an insult. She needed to do something.
