spiteful - Story 138675 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The meeting was scheduled to discuss the final stages of his thesis. David walked into the office and Professor Olsen told him, with a forced cheerfulness, about his leaving. David's jaw clenched. He stared at his advisor, noticing the tiny imperfections of the man's neatly trimmed beard.

He listened to the explanation with a forced air of attentiveness, his gaze fixated on a framed photograph on the wall. It was a picture of Professor Olsen, smiling, with his family. As soon as the meeting ended, David went and ripped the photo off the wall.

He left it on the professor's desk.
