alert - Story 2700 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"He's been like this all week," muttered Susan to her colleague. She gestured towards Mark. He was staring at the water cooler, his jaw tight. He hadn’t touched his lunch.

Susan knew the promotion was a big deal. The competition had been fierce. He was a good person, and she felt bad for him.

Mark turned, catching her eye. He attempted a smile, but it faltered. He fidgeted. He walked to his desk. He walked away. He seemed to have no idea where to go. He needed the promotion to pay for his children's education. He had worked so hard. This was it. The culmination of everything he had done.
