vengeful - Story 162987 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. Thomas felt his hands start to sweat. His apartment, a haven of cheap rent and easy access to the city, was about to be ripped away.

He considered the possibilities.

A few days later, the fire alarm went off, in the middle of the night. The building descended into chaos, the tenants all running outside in their pajamas. Thomas remained in his apartment, watching through his peephole.
