irritated - Story 78274 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The new office reeked of stale air and desperation. The air conditioner, or lack thereof, amplified the rising tide of heat. Mark tugged at his collar, feeling the tightness in his chest. His transfer from research and development felt like a cruel punishment. Now, he was stuck in a windowless office, managing the office's inventory.

"Mark, can you find the blue staplers?" Mrs. Davis, his new supervisor, asked with a simper. He resisted the urge to snap back at her.

He walked over to the supply closet, the door slamming shut behind him. He kicked a bin of paperclips across the room. The sheer banality of his new job was starting to eat away at him.
