mad - Story 87437 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly baked bread filled the bakery, but Amelia couldn't bring herself to savor it. She had just seen the announcement: "The new 'Rosemary's Rustic Loaf'—a taste of the countryside!" Rosemary, who hadn't even *known* how to boil water when she last saw her.

Amelia felt a wave of cold wash over her, followed by a surge of heat. Her hands were ice, her face burning. She walked over to the shop window and stared out, the words of the announcement repeating in her head.

Her vision blurred slightly, and she felt a desperate need to lash out, to scream, to break something. She took a deep breath. She would not let it ruin her day. She had her own customers.
