irate - Story 77429 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The obnoxious graphic of the school mascot on the invitation felt like a personal attack. James tossed it across the room with a disgusted grimace. He felt an unwelcome heat crawling up his neck.

The thought of those people, those judgmental faces, filled him with a potent mixture of resentment and… irritation. He closed his eyes, picturing the hallways, the lockers, the cacophony of adolescent voices.

He abruptly stood up and began pacing, the carpet yielding slightly under his agitated strides. He wanted to shout. He wanted to yell. He needed to leave.
