irate - Story 77409 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence inside the house was unsettling. Matthew walked through the front door. His sister, Jessica, was already at work, meticulously cataloging the contents of the house, like it was some sort of museum. He felt a fire burning in his chest.

He surveyed the familiar living room, and it made him physically ill. He felt claustrophobic.

His hand reached for his phone; he needed to get out of here. He wanted to leave her to this miserable chore and disappear.
