irritated - Story 78877 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The museum's grand hall felt suffocatingly warm. The air smelled of varnish and hushed whispers. Alex, the sculptor, felt a tremor in his hands as he walked through the exhibit. There, in a prime location, stood "Echoes," a sculpture crafted from salvaged metal. It was his. But the name tag read "Anonymous."

His pulse quickened. He hated being in crowds, but he’d felt compelled to attend the opening. He wished he'd stayed home. He wanted to scream.

He clenched his teeth, trying to control the urge to rip the label from the pedestal. He closed his eyes for a moment, letting the darkness consume him.
