irritated - Story 78227 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The afternoon sun blazed through the window, highlighting the dust motes dancing in the air. Sarah pressed her lips together, her shoulders stiff. She ran her fingers through the stack of papers, her fingers twitching.

Her mother's habit of collecting everything felt like a deliberate act of holding on. It made her feel suffocated. There was a report on Ancient Egypt. The drawing of a princess with uneven eyes. Each item was a reminder of a past she'd rather forget.

A sharp, involuntary sigh escaped her. She longed to leave everything behind.
