mad - Story 87007 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news report flickered on the television. A local celebrity was flaunting his latest tattoo – an exact replica of his sculpture, “The Serpent’s Coil.” He froze, his blood turning ice in his veins.

He hadn’t authorized this, hadn’t given his consent. He gripped the arms of his chair, knuckles white. The anchor’s voice droned on, oblivious to the storm brewing inside him.

He felt the sudden urge to shatter something, to demolish something, to watch it break. He muted the television, unable to bear the sight.
