irritated - Story 78270 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You didn't make the cut? Wow." The words, meant as a form of sympathy, sent a jolt of anger through her. Emily stiffened, forcing a smile she didn't feel. The casual dismissal of her dreams was almost unbearable. Her hands, balled into fists, were hidden in her pockets. She wanted to scream, to rant, to break something. She bit down on her lip, a wave of heat washing over her. She knew she had to leave. She had to go, before she did something she would regret.
