irritated - Story 78438 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The comments section exploded under the recipe post: “Everyone loves 'Chef Antoine's Chocolate Truffles!'” David, scrolling through, felt a knot tighten in his stomach. Chef Antoine. He felt like his eyes were burning.

He had created that truffle recipe. He had painstakingly experimented, trying different cocoa percentages and tempering techniques. He had posted it online, anonymously, hoping for feedback.

He pressed his lips together, feeling a surge of something akin to rage. The anonymous comments, once so encouraging, now felt like insults. He deleted the post. He felt violated.
