resentful - Story 117624 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stopped posting. He started dreading physics class. He answered Mr. Ramirez's questions with monosyllabic replies and avoided any interaction. Even the simple task of handing in his homework felt fraught with significance. The classroom atmosphere now felt suffocating and oppressive.
