irritated - Story 78800 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cat had vomited on the brand new rug. Robert stared at the mess, his face twisting into a grimace. He had only just bought it, and it was a costly addition to his otherwise sparsely furnished living room. He wanted to stomp his feet.

He knelt down, grabbing paper towels. The cat, completely unrepentant, sauntered away as if nothing had happened. Robert felt a flicker of fury.

Then, the doorbell. The detective showed up. The house was not what it seemed. Robert sat down on the couch, the stain on the rug mirroring the stain on his mood. He was no longer sure how to feel.
