irate - Story 77946 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bathroom mirror reflected a face he barely recognized. Liam stared at the image, his features contorted in a mask of disbelief and... something else. The novel, *Echoes of Silence*, detailed their relationship, but it was all skewed, warped. He was portrayed as a distant, unemotional man. Was this how she saw him?

He ran a hand through his hair, tugging at the strands. The shower was cold, the water a stark contrast to the burning fire within him. Every memory, every conversation, replayed in his head, distorted by the cruel fiction he just read.

He couldn't even meet her eyes.
