irritated - Story 78108 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office felt smaller than usual. Sam paced back and forth, like a caged animal. The new hire was taking up too much space, and her constant, chirping questions were becoming unbearable.

"So, how do you deal with the… uh… office politics?" she asked. Sam stopped pacing and stared at her.

"You don't," he finally replied, his voice flat and devoid of emotion. He wanted to be anywhere but here. He wanted to scream.

He gestured dismissively, resuming his walk. He needed to get through this day, this week, this charade. He felt as though he would explode if he was forced to endure another minute.
