upset - Story 160681 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The antique clock ticked with infuriating regularity. Sarah slammed the book shut, the sound echoing in the otherwise silent living room. She’d spent years painstakingly collecting first editions, poring over them, and now her daughter, Lily, wanted to do nothing *but* talk about the Victorian novels. And she could. Lily knew more about the publishing history of *Wuthering Heights* than Sarah did.

Lily, oblivious, bounced into the room, clutching a worn copy of *Pride and Prejudice*. “Mom! Guess what? I found a first edition online! It’s, like, super rare!”

Sarah just stared at the clock, each tick a hammer blow.
