irate - Story 77329 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The printer spat out another copy of the review, the words still sharp and venomous. Chef Hiroki, usually a picture of calm, ripped the paper to shreds. He did it with slow deliberation, each tear a deliberate act of defiance. He walked outside, needing fresh air. He pulled a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and inhaled deeply. The smoke didn't calm him. He crushed the cigarette under his heel. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to make someone *understand*.
