irritated - Story 78889 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Do you really need *another* renovation, Ms. Davies?" The sarcastic question left my mouth before I could stop it. I was working on a small, shoddy patio, while Ms. Davies was talking about installing a new, imported marble bathroom.

She just shrugged. The woman always acted like money meant nothing to her. I wanted to just punch the wall.

I went back to work, but the concrete felt heavy. The feeling of being unequal was a leaden thing inside me. I was a craftsman, not a beggar. The thought did nothing to make me feel better.
