irritated - Story 78710 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The constant chatter of the office was making Sarah grind her teeth. She was tired of the office dynamic, and she felt suffocated by it.

"Did you hear about the office bake sale?" Mark asked.

She just stared ahead.

"It's going to be so delicious," Mark added.

She needed space.

Later, Sarah heard Mark on the phone. "…and the stories, and the songs…"

Sarah slammed her fist on the table.

"Sarah!" Mark yelled. "Did you ever go to Camp Redwood?"

Sarah turned to him. "Yes!" she snapped.

"No way! Me too! Did you know the girl who always did the cartwheels?"

Sarah felt her jaw clench. "I need to get some air," she said, storming off.

She wanted nothing more than to be alone.
