irritated - Story 78498 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the courtroom was stifling, the hushed tones of the lawyers grating on his nerves. Mark, surrounded by legal jargon he barely understood, listened to the opposing counsel detail the similarities between his invention and the patented design. His hopes for the automated gardening system withered in the glare of the legal proceedings.

He felt a tightness in his chest, a sense of being suffocated by the proceedings. He couldn't meet the gaze of his own lawyer. He fidgeted constantly, tapping his foot, unable to sit still.

Each piece of evidence presented felt like a blow. He gripped the edge of the table, his knuckles turning white. He thought about getting up and running, away from the accusations, from the disappointment.
