irritated - Story 78602 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Thomas shoved the photo album across the kitchen table. The glossy pages skidded, nearly taking out the sugar bowl. He hadn't asked for this, this sudden dive into his family’s past. His aunt had insisted, "You *have* to see these, Thomas. Absolutely *have* to."

The photos mocked him with their blatant lies. His father, the paragon of virtue, the man who always preached about hard work and honesty, was grinning like a loon, perched on a convertible next to a woman who was definitely *not* his mother. Thomas felt a familiar clench in his stomach. He wanted to scream.
