vengeful - Story 162388 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news had hit him like a physical blow. The date. The location. The intimate details. He found the other man's number online, a sleazy website that advertised him as a "specialist." Michael, the other man, was currently dating his wife, Sarah.

He drove to the address, a nondescript apartment building. His hands trembled as he climbed out of his car. He found the door, the number matching the address given, and hammered on it until the frame shook.

Michael opened the door. One look at his face told him that he was already feeling sick with dread. Before Michael could even speak, David pushed past him, his eyes blazing.
