irritated - Story 78018 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the Italian restaurant felt stale. My brother had announced he was now a Muslim. He looked so happy, so peaceful. I took a large gulp of the Chianti, the wine burning on the way down.

He kept talking, and I picked at a piece of bread. He just *knew* what was best. I hated this.

My hands clenched into fists beneath the table. The conversation felt like a marathon of tolerance, and I was already exhausted. I felt my teeth grinding.
