vindictive - Story 165582 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A sharp pang of something unpleasant seized Amelia as she walked past the grand hotel. Through the open doors, a string quartet was murdering her composition. The oboe player was particularly atrocious. She could feel the pulse in her temple quickening.

She didn't hesitate. She marched inside, her heels clicking on the polished marble floor. A waiter nearly spilled a tray of champagne at her sudden arrival.

Without a word, she strode over to the quartet, her gaze locked on the oboe player. She leaned over them, her breath hot on his neck.

"Would you mind, just for a moment, letting me…adjust the music?" she asked, her voice dangerously calm. She snatched the sheet music, ripped it cleanly in two, and tossed it into the nearest potted palm.
