mad - Story 87444 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to tilt on its axis for Ethan. His carefully guarded secrets, written in ink, laid bare. He saw the faint fingerprint smudges on the cover. He felt a surge of pure, unadulterated fury. The air around him crackled. His roommate, Kevin, was sitting at the computer, headphones on, seemingly engrossed in a game.

Ethan walked over to the computer, his fists clenched at his sides. He yanked off Kevin's headphones. "Did you read my journal?" he demanded, his voice dangerously low.

Kevin flinched, turning around. “What? No! Why would you think that?”

Ethan pointed at the open journal on his desk. "Because it was out of place. Because I *know* you have no respect for boundaries." He could feel the pulse in his temple throbbing.
