irritated - Story 78148 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The weight of the violin felt heavy, almost burdensome, in Alex's hands. He was supposed to have a private lesson with Mr. Dubois, his most gifted teacher. Mr. Dubois had disappeared and left only a note, "Enjoy the music." Alex stared at the note, then at his reflection in the polished instrument. His fingers ached for a melody, but his heart felt leaden. He put the violin down, the wood thudding softly on the table. He stood, and without a second thought he left.
