mad - Story 87130 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The screen was the enemy, its message a personal affront to Maria. Her daughter’s performance, the one she’d rehearsed for months, was happening tonight. The delay was unacceptable, outrageous. She felt a heat rising in her chest, a slow burn that threatened to consume her.

She pounded her fist on the armrest, the plastic barely yielding. She pictured the stage, her daughter's confident smile, the applause. And her? Absent. The thought was a bitter pill.

Her breath came in ragged gasps. She wanted to scream, to break something. She pushed back her chair and started pacing, her energy a caged beast. This wasn't happening. It couldn't.
