irate - Story 77548 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Impossible,” growled David, the word barely audible. He was sprawled in the armchair, his eyes glued to the laptop screen. His son, Liam, had a whole other existence. A digital life he had built behind his back. The betrayal felt like a physical blow.

He felt the muscles in his jaw clench. He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at it. He felt a sudden, fierce heat. He wanted to tear something apart. He wanted to… He couldn’t even name the emotion. It was a churning cauldron inside him.

He slammed his fist against the arm of the chair. He felt no pain, only the persistent, relentless fury. He rose from the chair and began pacing, his steps heavy.
