resentful - Story 117374 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The paint was peeling, the wallpaper stained, the entire house seemed to sigh with age. Sarah ran her hand along the dusty wall, a sigh escaping her lips. It was her husband, Ben, who always wanted a "fixer-upper". Now, he was at his office. She was alone with the mess. She found a small, almost invisible seam in the wall of the guest room. She pressed, and a section popped open, revealing a hidden passage.

A wave of heat surged through her. A hidden passage! What was the point? More work. More cleaning. More of her time wasted on this decaying house. Her teeth clenched.
