unhappy - Story 157336 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The silence in the office was deafening. John sat at his desk, the email notification regarding "The Hungry Hound" still open on his screen. His jaw tightened.

He pushed away from his desk with a sigh, not wanting to work. He felt restless, antsy, like a caged animal. He ran a hand through his hair, a gesture of frustration.
