vengeful - Story 162045 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The incessant banging had ruined Eleanor's afternoon nap. She sat bolt upright, heart hammering, every muscle tense. That loud, inconsiderate woman – what was her name? Susan. Susan was turning her house into a construction site, and Eleanor was not impressed.

She pulled out her phone and started scrolling, looking for a local skip hire company. She had a sudden, burning desire to hire them to put their skip right in the middle of Susan's driveway.

The thought of Susan being unable to park her car, of being inconvenienced even for a moment, made her smile.
