💡 Cultural Insight: Cathartic Venting in Close Circles

Using hyperbolic expressions involving 'death' (like 'anger me to death') is a standard, harmless way for Chinese speakers to vent emotional pressure among trusted family or friends, after which they often feel immediate relief (as seen in the next turn 'Much better now').
