mad - Story 87697 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. The air rushed out of her lungs. It felt unfair, like she'd been cheated. Everything suddenly felt…wrong. She was close to shattering, like glass.

She bit her lip, hard, drawing blood. The metallic taste did nothing to distract from the fury that was building inside her. She felt like she could scream.

She started pushing things around her desk, arranging her things. It gave her something to do, but it didn't ease the feeling. She wanted to smash something, she wanted to release the pressure.

She felt like she was trapped in a box. Her vision blurred with tears of pure frustration. She had to leave.
