amazed - Story 3152 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Liam stared at the offer letter on his computer screen. The words swam slightly before his eyes. He blinked, focusing again. He’d poured his soul into the interview. He had the right experience, the right qualifications. But the job wasn't his.

He leaned back in his chair, a slow heat spreading through him. He saw the rejection email. He felt it was a complete oversight. He had thought that he'd nail the interview. Now he realized he hadn't.

He thought of Sarah, his best friend. They had both wanted this so badly. He hoped, for her sake, that she’d gotten it. He wanted to be happy for her, truly. He reached for his phone, already envisioning a congratulations text he would have to send.
