upset - Story 160545 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Unbelievable," Maria muttered under her breath, her voice tight with suppressed emotion. The secret account was a whirlwind of drama, gossip, and pointed comments, a world far removed from the polite facade her daughter displayed. A wave of heat flushed her cheeks.

She stood in the middle of the kitchen, feeling a chill despite the warm air. The vibrant, colourful art that her daughter always did seemed so distant. She felt her hands start to tremble. She slammed her hands down on the kitchen island and let out a frustrated sigh. She found herself craving solitude, a place to process the shock and disappointment.
