irate - Story 77647 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news hit Ben like a physical blow. The words on the screen blurred, his vision swimming. *Sale to Global Industries.* He felt a surge of heat rush to his face, a burning sensation that made him want to rip his collar off. He pushed his chair back, nearly knocking it over.

He got up and started pacing around his cubicle, his frustration building. He thought of the new owners, their promises, their likely indifference to the team. This wasn't about the people; it was all about the money.

His hands were clenched into fists, the knuckles white. He muttered to himself, his voice a low growl of resentment. He considered the repercussions: would his team be safe? Would he be safe? He needed to talk to someone. Now.
