mad - Story 87738 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the room seemed to crackle with tension. A low growl rumbled in David's chest. He felt his face contort with an emotion he couldn't name. He stared at Sam, his friend of twenty years.

"Just like that?" he finally managed, his voice a gravelly whisper. The question wasn't really a question; it was an accusation. He couldn't believe it. He stood up abruptly and began pacing the small apartment.

Each step was heavy, deliberate. His fists were clenched, and his jaw was locked tight. He felt a sudden, sharp pain in his chest. He stopped, and took a deep breath.
