irritated - Story 78052 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David slammed the car door a little harder than necessary. He’d promised to help his sister, Sarah, but this was a waste of his Saturday. She'd called, panicked, about a lost heirloom. Now, here he was, in a dingy pawn shop, surrounded by a depressing array of forgotten treasures.

His jaw clenched as he surveyed the rows of dusty shelves. He wanted to scream. He ran a hand through his hair. Everything felt sticky.

He caught sight of a small display on a high shelf, catching the harsh fluorescent light. He pointed. "That one." His voice held an edge. He hoped this would be the end. He just needed to find that damn ring.
