mad - Story 87235 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Unbelievable," Leo muttered, his voice a low growl. He was pacing the length of his tiny apartment, phone clutched so tightly in his hand his knuckles were bone-white. He felt like his teeth were going to fall out. The words – his words, his awkward, clumsy teenage confessions – were now immortalized in cyberspace, available for anyone to consume.

He stopped, his gaze fixed on the wall. He wanted to hit something, to shatter something. The sheer audacity of it, the violation, was unbearable. He felt a need to find the person responsible, and make them feel the same torment.

He gripped the phone harder.
