irritated - Story 78440 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"The secret ingredient is love, and that's what makes 'Mama Rosa's Lasagna' the best!" Antonio felt a burning sensation in his chest as he heard the commercial. Mama Rosa. His grandmother, who had taught *him* the recipe.

He gripped the steering wheel so hard his knuckles whitened. His aunt had taken the recipe. She had taken the credit. She had never spent a single moment perfecting the recipe as he had.

He pulled over to the side of the road, the car vibrating with the force of his emotions. He turned off the engine and closed his eyes. The thought of it, the utter disregard for the truth, was almost unbearable.
