vigilant - Story 164297 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The message from his brother, David, was curt: "Party is canceled. Sorry." Mark's gut clenched. He was determined to make his father's retirement a day to remember. After all the sacrifices his father had made, it was the least he could do. He felt a rising heat.

He pulled up the contact list and started dialing. First, David. Then, a friend. Then, another friend. He demanded answers. His voice, usually mellow, was sharp, urgent. Every answer felt unsatisfactory. He started calling the numbers again, over and over, until each answer aligned with the truth.
