amazed - Story 3174 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Architect," Ben had said, describing what Michael did. Ben had always pictured drafting tables and blueprints. Now, he stood outside "Skyline Design," a towering glass and steel structure that dominated the city skyline. His head tilted back.

He squinted, trying to make out Michael's office. This wasn't the modest office space Ben had envisioned. He felt a weird, tingly sensation. He ran a hand over his face.

The security guard, in a crisp uniform, asked, "Can I help you, sir?" Ben swallowed hard. "I'm here to... see Michael." The guard's eyes widened, and he gestured toward a private elevator. Ben was left speechless.
