delighted - Story 24737 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

As soon as the words left Alex's mouth, the room took on a new vibrancy for Kai. He practically vibrated in his seat.

“Texas? Wow, that's a long way away!” Kai said, his voice brimming with a strange, high-pitched energy. He felt a lightness he hadn't experienced in years.

He clapped his hands together, then, unable to stay still any longer, stood up and began pacing. He felt a newfound exhilaration. After Alex left, maybe he could adopt that cat. Maybe he could finally get his driver's license.
