irate - Story 77889 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

All her comments about clipping coupons and bargain hunting, all the "poor me" pronouncements she made about the price of gas… It was all a complete fabrication. His own, rather ordinary life felt drab in comparison. He clenched his fists, the nails digging into his palms.

He turned away from the window, unable to bear the sight any longer. He felt a bitter, acidic taste in his mouth. He needed to go for a run, a long, exhausting run. He needed to punish his own body.
