irate - Story 77655 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah ripped the receipt in half, the paper tearing with a satisfying *rip*. The noise barely registered over the internal scream. The recipient? Her mother. The intended target? Her younger brother, about the abysmal birthday present he got her. The text? Let's just say, it wasn't flattering.

She felt the heat rise from her chest, a stinging sensation in her cheeks. She was going to kill him!

Her phone buzzed. She almost threw it across the room. She sighed, reading.

"Sweetheart, you really shouldn't talk about your brother like that. And I'm disappointed in you."
