miserable - Story 89122 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Thomas slammed his fist on the counter, the force rattling the already stressed-out barista. The line of people behind him flinched. “Are you kidding me?” he barked at the employee, his voice tight. "The flight's been pushed back again?"

He ran a hand through his already dishevelled hair. He felt a throbbing ache in his temples. This was a nightmare. He was supposed to be in Vegas to celebrate his grandfather's 90th birthday, a man he adored. Every passing minute added to his feeling of helplessness.

He knew he'd already missed the luncheon.

He slumped against the counter, the weight of his disappointment pressing down on him. A wave of regret washed over him. The party felt like an impossible dream.
