irritated - Story 78004 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer across the desk kept droning on about copyright infringement. Ben just stared at the framed print on the wall, his own painting. He wanted to throttle the guy. He’d spent years perfecting his style, building his name. Now, some biker, covered in leather and chrome, was flaunting a blatant copy across his entire back.

Ben ran a hand through his hair, leaving it standing on end. The world was a chaotic mess, a churning vortex. The lawyer's words, the buzz of the office, the damn clock on the wall – all of it grated against his nerves. He wanted to shout, to break something.

"So," the lawyer concluded, his voice a smooth, grating instrument, "we'll send a cease and desist…" Ben just glared.
