irate - Story 77733 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email sat in the inbox, mocking her with its cheerful subject line: "Big News!" Her fingers trembled as she clicked. Inside, the neatly formatted paragraphs explained everything. Everything she hadn't known, hadn't been consulted on. Across the country, starting next month. Her breath hitched.

Her apartment, usually a haven of cozy comfort, now felt like a cage. She spun around, a whirlwind of frustrated energy, bumping into the coffee table. Damn it, damn it all! This morning she’d planned to go to the cafe with Leo, talk about their day. Now? Now she felt a pressure behind her eyes.

She stormed into the bathroom, splashing cold water on her face. The reflection staring back was unfamiliar. Red-faced, disbelieving. She wanted to scream. She wanted to shatter the mirror.
