vengeful - Story 162847 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The woman next door, the one with the yappy dog, had the nerve to suggest his music was "unpleasant." He didn't think much of her or her opinion.

He purchased a ridiculously loud wind chime. He hung it directly outside her bedroom window, where it would swing and clang at the slightest breeze.

He made sure to watch her face from his own window, the constant ringing creating a satisfying atmosphere for his own enjoyment. He wasn't particularly bothered by it, but he hoped she was.
