irritated - Story 78380 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The previous owners had left the house in a state. Dust coated every surface, and the scent of stale cigarettes permeated the air. Sarah had spent the entire day scrubbing. Her head was starting to ache.

She leaned against the wall in the dining room, catching her breath. Her fingers brushed against the molding. It felt loose. She yanked at it, and the piece came away in her hand.

Behind the molding, she noticed a gap in the wall, a small, dark opening that had been hidden from view. She felt a surge of annoyance wash over her. Just what she needed, another thing to fix.
