at ease - Story 11896 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David whistled a cheerful tune as he walked through the campus quad. The spring air was warm and vibrant, filled with the scent of blooming flowers. He had just finished a challenging math problem set, and the sense of accomplishment buoyed him. The sun felt good on his face. He felt good.

He thought about the test he just got. He had studied like crazy. He had checked every single detail. He had to know the grade. He felt like he deserved a good grade.

He logged on. The score slapped him in the face. His smile vanished. A jolt of anger and confusion coursed through him. He stopped dead in his tracks.
