irritated - Story 78966 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“Honestly,” Michael muttered under his breath as he desperately searched for the remote control. He was certain he’d left it on the coffee table. He was going to miss the start of the game.

He pushed aside a stack of books, and underneath, he saw a worn, hardcover book. Curious, he picked it up. It wasn’t a book, it was a diary, and the first page listed several long-term goals. “Hike the Appalachian Trail. Learn a new language. Own a vineyard.” A flush began to creep up Michael’s neck.

He slammed the book closed, the sound echoing in the otherwise quiet room.
