irate - Story 77705 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluorescent lights of the break room hummed, a monotonous drone that amplified the tension building in Alex. He’d just spilled coffee all over his presentation notes. The deadline was looming, and now he was drowning in a sea of sticky paper and regret.

He was wrestling with the mess when Brian, from marketing, ambled in, whistling. “Rough morning, huh?” Brian asked, grinning.

Alex looked up, a wave of pure frustration washing over him. “You have no idea,” he grumbled, wiping a sticky hand across his forehead.

"Camp Clearwater was pretty rough too," Brian said, pouring himself a cup of coffee. "Remember the time..."

Alex’s hand clenched into a fist. He wanted to throw something, break something. He wanted to disappear. He thought of that miserable summer.
