blissful - Story 15010 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The last client of the day had finally left the tattoo parlor. Kai had been working on a massive, intricate design all day, and he was exhausted but happy. The tattoo was a success. He knew it would be a hit.

He checked his messages, a habit born of boredom. Someone had tagged him in a photo. A woman, on holiday somewhere tropical, had a tattoo of his work on her back.

Kai leaned back in his chair, a smile creeping across his face. He felt a profound sense of… satisfaction. He felt like he could fly. He felt so full of energy he could stay up all night. He felt like he’d been granted a superpower.
