mad - Story 87407 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lawyer’s smug expression was a permanent stain on Liam's mind. His sister, Olivia, would probably arrive here, all sweetness and light, expecting to divvy up everything according to her whims. He found himself squeezing his hand into a fist, clenching and unclenching his muscles.

He stalked from room to room, the faded wallpaper a constant reminder of the life he was now tied to. The scent of old wood and lavender filled his nostrils, mixing with the bitterness he felt. He wanted to scream, to lash out, to make the walls tremble.

He kicked a small table, sending a vase crashing to the floor, shattering into a million pieces.
