irritated - Story 78728 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the garage was thick with the scent of oil and decay. Ethan, sweat beading on his forehead, forced a smile for the realtor. They were supposed to be emptying the place for the sale. This was going badly.

He rummaged through a box of his grandfather's tools, finding everything covered in a layer of grime. He then found a thin folder tucked under a toolbox. Inside, a draft of a typed letter. His grandfather’s name on top.

He frowned, reading the short, formal sentences. It was a resignation letter from his grandfather's job at the factory. The reason listed was "relocation," but the handwriting at the bottom had a note that sounded fake. He wanted to be anywhere else.
