irate - Story 77663 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sudden darkness had been the first clue. Then the sickening lurch. Now, Emily felt a simmering heat rising within her. Her chest felt constricted. The stale air was getting to her. She wanted to scream. She gritted her teeth, counting backward from one hundred, a useless but oddly comforting exercise.

Across from her, David was casually leaning against the wall, clearly not feeling any sort of emotion. She wanted to shove him. She imagined throwing her arms around the walls and kicking them.

"This is just... fantastic," she said, her voice thin, brittle. Her fingers drummed a frantic tattoo against her thigh. She needed to be home. She needed to get out.
