irate - Story 77668 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air was heavy, thick with the scent of stale coffee and desperation. David felt his teeth clench. This was the worst thing that had ever happened to him. He was a man of plans and routine. He had things to do, and now he was stuck.

He stared at the small screen, hoping for a sign of a cell signal. Nothing. He could feel a pressure building in his head, a dull ache that mirrored the throbbing in his temples. He hated this feeling of being out of control.

He looked at the other person, his coworker. He didn't want to look, but he was forced to. "Is there any way to actually get out of here?" he asked, his voice strained.
