irritated - Story 78924 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The relentless beeping of the hospital monitor was driving Leo to the edge. He squeezed his eyes shut, wishing he could somehow erase the insistent noise. His chest felt heavy, constricted, and the air in the room seemed thin, even with the oxygen tank beside his bed. He wanted to scream.

A nurse entered, bustling and efficient, and began to adjust his IV drip. As she did, a man in the adjacent bed coughed, a dry, hacking sound that echoed through the room. Leo flinched. The man, noticing Leo's reaction, offered a weak smile. "Rough day, huh?"

Leo didn't respond. He just nodded, focusing his attention on the ceiling. He knew his body was not like other people's. The man, however, persisted, "My lungs aren't very happy today, either. Are you…?"
