cheerful - Story 19903 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Alright!" Maya announced, clapping her hands together with a little too much force. The coffee shop was buzzing with a pre-class energy, but she felt like she was buzzing on a different frequency entirely. Her project proposal had just been accepted! She could barely contain the feeling that bubbled inside.

She hummed as she waited in line, tapping her foot and catching the eyes of her friends. They were discussing something serious, something that made the air feel thick with unease. When she finally reached them, she saw the screen of their laptops, full of the grim text.

"What's going on?" she asked, her voice a little too loud. One of her friends, Sarah, simply pointed towards the screen. Maya's smile wobbled a bit.
