irritated - Story 78948 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the bedroom was heavy, stifling. The pages of the book, *“Echoes of Us”*, felt like they were burning her fingertips. She’d found it hidden under the bed, a twisted chronicle of their life together, penned by her lover, Alex.

She walked to the window, needing air. She flung it open, letting the cool night breeze wash over her. Her hands felt clammy. She closed her eyes, trying to breathe, trying to find some semblance of calm.

When she turned around, Alex stood in the doorway, a look of apprehension on his face. She couldn't look at him. She just said, "I'm going to sleep in the other room tonight."
