irritated - Story 78661 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluorescent lights in the elevator hummed, a high-pitched whine that seemed to burrow into Amelia’s skull. She tapped her foot, the staccato rhythm a counterpoint to the drone. Across from her, Mark, ever the optimist, was humming some inane tune. She wanted to scream.

"So," Mark began, his voice a little too loud in the confined space. "Think they'll have to call the fire department?" Amelia glared at the elevator control panel. The 'CALL' button winked mockingly.

The air conditioning, if there was any at all, had stopped. A thin sheen of sweat began to coat her forehead. She peeled her back away from the wall. This was ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous.
