irate - Story 77442 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A tremor ran through Leo’s hands as he stared at the crumpled pages. The journal was on his roommate, Mark’s, desk. He'd seen it. He'd read it. He regretted it instantly. But the words, so private, so intimate, lingered in his mind like a bad taste.

Mark strode in, a gym bag slung over his shoulder, whistling a jaunty tune. He noticed the journal, then Leo, then the look on Leo's face.

"What's with you?" Mark asked, his brow furrowing. "You look… troubled."

Leo couldn't meet his gaze. He stammered, "I… I saw your journal." The words felt thick and clumsy in his mouth. He felt a sudden, oppressive heat in his chest.
