irate - Story 77489 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the blueprints, the cold lines and angles representing everything he loved, about to disappear. The architect droned on about new designs and modern aesthetics. He couldn't focus. All he could see was the house, a vibrant entity, now reduced to lines on a page. He felt a familiar hollowness, a void growing inside him. He pushed the blueprints away, unable to bear the sight. He excused himself, needing air, needing to escape the suffocating atmosphere of efficiency and progress.
