irritated - Story 78278 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the sterile lab felt thick and heavy, and the bright lights were giving him a headache. Kevin, a seasoned biologist, had been reassigned to quality control. The move felt like a cage. He scowled at the array of samples on his desk.

"Morning, Kevin! Ready for another round of testing?" The overly enthusiastic voice of his new supervisor, Dr. Ramirez, grated on his ears.

He gave a curt nod. The meticulous process of quality control, compared to the creative research he was used to, felt incredibly stifling. He was trapped in a box.

He ran a hand over his tired eyes. He wished he could teleport back to his old lab.
