irate - Story 77404 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Are you serious?" Mark barked, his voice echoing in the cavernous dining room. He glared at Emily, his sister, who was attempting to dust a cobweb-laden chandelier. He wanted to grab the chandelier and smash it against the wall.

He'd expected a simple inheritance. Maybe a few thousand dollars. Not this mausoleum, filled with his grandmother's worthless junk. The fact that Emily seemed to revel in all of it made things worse.

He balled his fists, the muscles in his arms tightening. He needed to get control of himself, or he'd say something he'd regret.
