at ease - Story 11705 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The elevator doors opened onto the familiar, bustling floor. Sarah practically skipped out, feeling light and buoyant. She'd had a great weekend. Everything just *felt* right. She felt the day's tasks would be a breeze.

She saw Mark in the kitchen, making coffee, and felt an urge to talk. "Morning, Mark!" she chirped, her voice high and clear.

"Morning," he said, turning, a mug in his hand. He looked tired.

"Rough day?" she inquired, tilting her head.

He let out a small laugh. "Just the usual. Still thinking about how the summer camp talent show went."

Sarah's breath hitched. "Which camp?" she asked, her voice cracking slightly.

"Camp Silverlake. We did the play 'Romeo and Juliet'."
