mad - Story 87908 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The drive home was a blur. She gripped the steering wheel so hard her knuckles ached. The radio blared a cheerful pop song, each saccharine lyric a new offense.

Each traffic light she encountered felt like a personal insult, holding her back, delaying her escape. She found herself speeding, ignoring the speed limit, the flashing lights of the dashboard a warning she chose to disregard.
