irate - Story 77744 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A cold wave washed over me as I saw the devastation. The willow, a weeping giant, had collapsed, taking with it a significant portion of the back garden, including the bird bath I had received as a housewarming gift. I jammed my hands into my pockets, my knuckles turning white. I wanted to yell, to scream, but the words caught in my throat. This whole thing was just an insult! I started pacing, shoulders hunched, staring at the destruction.
