irritated - Story 78089 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone vibrated in Emily's hand, jolting her. The noise from next door was the worst thing. Her head pounded, the sound a persistent threat to her peace of mind. She was *this* close to finishing her work for the day.

She stared out the window, at the slowly growing fence, at the man and his power tools. Her fingers tapped relentlessly on her desk, matching the cadence of the hammering. She had to take a break.

She closed her laptop with a forceful snap. She needed to get away from it, the noise, the feeling of being trapped. She went to the kitchen and grabbed a beer.
