vengeful - Story 162178 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee did nothing to soothe the tremor in Chloe's hands. Across from her sat Ben, the "highly respected doctor." Chloe knew better. She'd delivered pizza to his apartment many times in the last couple of months.

She took a sip of her coffee, the heat a small comfort. "Ben," she said, her voice unusually flat. "I was wondering, what do you think of this rash?" Chloe pulled out a small packet of cheap, generic medicine from her purse. "My friend, a patient, said it's been getting worse. Any thoughts?"

He mumbled something, clearly flustered.
