mad - Story 87648 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical weight, pressing down on him. All the effort, all the passion he'd invested, and now... It was just over. The email sat, mocking him from his screen. He felt a sharp, burning sensation behind his eyes.

He stood up so fast his chair nearly toppled over. He paced his small office, his thoughts a whirlwind of frustration and resentment. He replayed every meeting, every decision, every conversation. He knew something was going to happen; he just didn't think it would be like this.

He wanted to argue, to fight, but the words stuck in his throat. He needed to be alone. He snatched his keys and left.
