irritated - Story 78195 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The kindergarten classroom looked exactly as Michael had remembered: colorful, chaotic, and loud. He felt a flicker of discomfort as he saw Ms. Riley’s name on the door. He tried to swallow the rising bile in his throat, and failed. It was the woman who had criticized his handwriting.

He walked into the room slowly, his shoulders slumped. He felt a sudden, inexplicable urge to flee. His gaze darted around the room, as if searching for an escape route.

"Michael, is it?" Ms. Riley asked, her eyes narrowed. "Well, this is unexpected." He felt his fists clench, but he forced a response, trying to keep his voice neutral. He was already planning how he'd handle this.
