irritated - Story 78007 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus lurched to a halt, jolting Amelia from her thoughts. She’d been enjoying a quiet moment of introspection, something she rarely found the time for. Until now.

Across the aisle, a teenager, headphones blasting, adjusted her backpack. For a fleeting second, Amelia saw it: the familiar swirl of lines, the vibrant colours, the unmistakable outline of her 'Cosmic Dance' design, tattooed on the girl's calf.

Amelia felt her chest constrict. She wanted to scream, to lash out. The girl, oblivious, hummed along to her music. Amelia felt a hot, unpleasant wave wash over her, a physical manifestation of her growing discontent.
