upset - Story 160684 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tiny, perfectly ordered bonsai garden in the back yard felt oppressive. Each carefully shaped tree represented years of patient pruning and nurturing. David had poured his heart into this garden. His daughter, Chloe, now spent hours there, tending to them with an uncanny understanding. She was becoming better than him.

“Dad, the Juniper needs a little more sun,” Chloe announced, her voice confident.

David just grunted, turning his back to the intricate beauty of the bonsai, suddenly finding the birdsong irritating.
