irritated - Story 78744 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tremor in Leo’s hands was subtle, but present as he surveyed the damage. The old oak, a symbol of stability for the Johnsons next door, was now a tangled mess across his meticulously kept lawn. He released a long, slow breath, a shaky attempt to calm the turmoil in his chest.

He felt the unwelcome throb behind his eyes. He’d spent all morning planning his afternoon, and now? Now, this. He hadn't asked for this, he didn't want this.

He started pacing the length of his patio, each step measured, yet conveying his building resentment. He needed a plan. He needed to get a grip. He needed this whole situation to disappear.
