irate - Story 77662 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

John scrubbed at his forehead with the back of his hand, leaving a smear of sweat across his brow. The metal of the elevator felt cold and clammy against his skin. This was ridiculous. He had a million things to do. A presentation to finish. A call to make. A life, damn it, he had a life to live. And now he was stuck here.

"Anyone seen a phone signal?" he barked at Maria, his voice sharp. He didn't even wait for a response. He slapped his hands against his thighs, pacing the small space. Back and forth, back and forth. This situation was an absolute disaster.

The damn emergency phone was dead, of course. He punched the button again, just for the satisfaction of the futile thump. They were just stuck in this box. An absolute catastrophe for his plans.
