mad - Story 87766 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the exposed earth, a dark void where vibrant green had once thrived. The tree, his tree, was no more. A cold, hard knot formed in his stomach. He felt a surge of heat, spreading outward from his core.

He wanted to tear at his hair. He wanted to scream at the sky, demanding an explanation. Instead, he just stood there, motionless, his face etched with a silent, simmering fury.

He kicked at a loose stone, sending it skittering across the lawn. The sound was small, insignificant, but it provided a momentary release. Then the silence returned, heavier than before.
