irritated - Story 78606 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David tossed a stack of photos onto the coffee table. He ran his hand through his hair, leaving it a mess. He didn't want to be here, digging through the remnants of a past that now felt like a deception. He’d come seeking answers, hoping to understand his grandfather better, instead he felt... cheated.

The photographs revealed a man who was everything his grandfather was *not*: reckless, vibrant, and utterly unconcerned with the family's carefully crafted reputation. David clenched his fists. The pleasant fiction he grew up believing felt utterly pointless now.
