upset - Story 160934 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The office was a battleground of fluorescent lights and hushed whispers. Arthur, normally composed, found his hands trembling as he stared at the vibrant arrangement of sunflowers on his desk. No card. No explanation. His stomach churned.

He scanned the room, each face a potential suspect, a potential betrayer. The unanswered emails, the missed deadlines, the subtle whispers about his recent performance. Had this been sent to placate him? To mock him?

He pushed the vase away, the gesture abrupt. He felt a sudden, inexplicable heat rising in his chest. He hated being the center of attention, especially like this.

He grabbed his briefcase and left, slamming the door behind him.
