defiant - Story 23640 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The letter, stained with what looked like old coffee, was an apology. A plea for forgiveness written to her mother, before she was gone. She'd known how it would go. Her mother would forgive her, as she always had. But now, it was too late.

A bitter laugh escaped her lips. The words felt like a betrayal. She should never have felt this way, and now she had lost her.

She wadded up the letter. She was on her own, now.
