vengeful - Story 162563 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Is this some kind of joke?" Leo spat the words out, staring at the brightly coloured flyer advertising Ethan's pool party. Ethan *knew* Leo had booked a private room at the art gallery for his birthday, a space to showcase his own paintings. Knew.

His fingers itched for something to destroy. Instead, he made a phone call.

The art gallery was a ghost town. Ethan, he knew, always hated modern art; he always preferred to be where the noise was. Leo booked a loud, raucous band for his own party. The art gallery was a vibrant explosion of sound and light.

Later, from his gallery window, he watched Ethan's pool party, the music already fading. Leo knew Ethan's meticulously planned celebration would be drowned out by his own, and he felt a knot of something inside loosen.
