irate - Story 77688 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the house was thick with the scent of old books and paper. George entered the library, his blood running cold. His son, Henry, was there, meticulously annotating his first edition of *Moby Dick*. His very own copy. The one he’d spent a fortune acquiring. The one he had sworn to preserve. His hands clenched into fists. “Henry,” he managed to say, his voice strained. “Have you… have you read this?” Henry looked up, his eyes bright with intellectual fervor. The audacity. It made George want to break something.
