mad - Story 87507 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant colors of the freshly painted fence were suddenly marred by a streak of muddy paw prints. Maria's breath hitched in her chest. She stood frozen, the paintbrush still in her hand, the bristles dripping paint onto the pristine grass. The culprit, a boisterous Labrador, was happily trotting back and forth, leaving its mark.

She slammed the paintbrush down. The sound echoed in the sudden quiet. A wave of heat washed over her, making her skin prickle. She felt a tightening in her shoulders.

"That's enough!" she shouted, her voice louder than she intended. The dog stopped, its ears perked up, and looked at her.
