irate - Story 77549 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I couldn't believe it. My daughter, Sophia, a secret account. Photos I'd never seen, comments I didn't want to think about. The blood roared in my ears. I felt a pressure building in my head. My chest felt tight.

I wanted to throw something, to smash something. I felt like I was going to explode. The air in the room felt thick and heavy. Each breath was an effort. I clenched my fists until my nails bit into my palms.

I wanted to scream, to shout. I wanted to know *why.* Why had she kept this from me? Why? I took a deep, shuddering breath. I would wait. I would be calm. I would… face her.
