irritated - Story 78014 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived at 2:00 AM. It simply said, “Please call. Urgent.” I shot up in bed, my heart hammering against my ribs. I grabbed my phone and called my brother, bracing myself for the worst. It was something about a new religion. It was all a bit confusing to me. My brain felt fuzzy.

He was now part of some kind of cult.

I pulled at the strands of my hair. That guy always did go for the unusual. The silence on the other end felt suffocating, and the tiny screen of my phone felt like a physical burden. "What the hell does this mean, Liam?" I finally rasped, my voice barely a whisper.
