defiant - Story 23619 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The stage lights seemed to bore into Leo's skin, making him sweat. He’d arrived late, intentionally. He’d stood in the back, observing, feeling his own anger and resentment grow with each forced smile and platitude. Now, the MC was introducing him, and he had to go through with it.

His father, sitting with his cronies, looked proud, expecting a heartfelt address. Leo felt sick. He had always felt overshadowed, unseen.

He walked to the podium, his legs heavy, his mind racing. He was not a good son. He didn't want to be.

He decided that silence was a statement.
