vindictive - Story 165443 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to shrink, focusing only on the offending notebook. My roommate, Mark, had brazenly left it open on his desk after supposedly 'borrowing' it. The nerve. He had no right.

I smiled when I saw him, that same damn smirk on his face. He'd been bragging about his upcoming internship, the one he'd been so sure he’d get.

"Hey, Mark, what are you doing with that resume?" I asked casually, picking it up and examining it. "I noticed a few... grammatical errors. Let me help you fix it."
