triumphant - Story 154850 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Again?" he asked the building manager when he came to his door. He could see his neighbor, Mr. Harrison, seething behind him. He didn’t bother to hide his smile.

He shrugged. "Sorry, I didn't realize it was a problem." He knew it was. He knew it was driving Mr. Harrison insane. He could almost hear his screams as he closed the door. The game was over, and he had won.
