irritated - Story 78335 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“I don’t care what you say,” Sarah said, her voice tight, "I'm not going." Her friend on the other end of the phone sighed. "It's just a farewell dinner, Sarah." “The Cozy Corner” was closing, and everyone wanted to go on their last day, but she wouldn’t. The place had been her refuge for years. Their apple pie. Their warmth. All gone.

She slammed the phone down. A headache began to throb behind her eyes. She flopped onto the couch, her arms crossed and a grimace plastered on her face.

The room seemed to shrink, the walls closing in. She felt a deep sense of betrayal. Her cat, startled by the outburst, leaped from the couch and disappeared.
