jealous - Story 79582 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stormed out of the record store, shoving past a group of teenagers. The song, *his* song, blared from the speakers inside. It was a remix, an awful, club-thumping version that completely butchered the raw emotion he'd painstakingly crafted. The bass throbbed in his chest, a heavy, unwelcome pulse.

He kicked a discarded water bottle across the parking lot. The way the DJ had rearranged the melody… it was like someone had taken a beautiful painting and scribbled graffiti all over it. His hands balled into fists, his knuckles white.

He imagined the DJ, a slick-haired guy in sunglasses, probably laughing at him. He hated him. He hated the song. He hated everyone who was enjoying that… *thing*.
