irritated - Story 78384 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email pinged again, and Clara slammed her laptop shut. This was the fifth one, all of them asking about something seemingly important. It had been like this all day. Everything had been a mess. She felt a throbbing ache behind her eyes, the kind that came with a tension headache.

She'd been looking forward to this evening, this concert. The dress she picked was perfect. She had been excited to share it with him. Then he texted, canceling. “Emergency.” Convenient. Then, scrolling through her Instagram feed, a photo popped up. A photo of him, at a different concert, arm around someone else.

Clara stood up so fast, she nearly knocked over her chair. Her vision swam. It felt like her world was tilting on its axis.
