vengeful - Story 162668 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The metal walls of the elevator seemed to shrink with every passing minute. James, the man who had stolen his girlfriend, was visibly agitated. His eyes darted around the confined space, his hand constantly reaching for the "call" button.

He leaned back, his arms crossed, a quiet satisfaction settling over him. James was a mess, and that was all that mattered.

"Well, this is awkward," James finally muttered, breaking the silence. "Is there anything I can do?" James asked nervously.

He simply shrugged, enjoying the spectacle. He was going to savour this, as long as it lasted.
