mad - Story 87003 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Rain lashed against the windows of Leo's studio, mirroring the tempest inside him. He found the post on Instagram. A vibrant recreation of his "Fractured City" was etched onto a man's bicep. The man had tagged Leo in the post.

His hands shook as he scrolled through the comments: "Amazing!" "So realistic!" "Beautiful!" He slammed his fist onto his desk. A collection of paintbrushes scattered across the floor.

He felt the sudden urge to break something, to destroy, to dismantle. He got up from his chair, and started pacing, his footsteps echoing in the empty studio. He needed to get out.
