compassionate - Story 20622 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He found the notification on a Friday afternoon. Mr. Harrison, his history teacher, had started following him on Instagram. Mark's initial reaction was a surge of awkwardness. He’d posted a picture earlier of him and his friends messing around at the arcade.

A gentle feeling tugged at him. Mr. Harrison was a quiet, bookish man. Mark imagined him, maybe on a Friday night, relaxing after a week of grading papers. Seeing the teacher browsing online wasn't what he expected.

He clicked on Mr. Harrison's profile, finding travel photos, landscapes and museums, it all seemed so private, so unlike the man who'd made ancient history come alive. He decided to send him a follow back request. He felt a soft feeling, he didn't quite understand it, but it was there.
