delighted - Story 24803 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The phone call had come out of the blue, interrupting Eleanor's otherwise monotonous Tuesday afternoon. “We have some news regarding your biological father,” the lawyer had said, his voice a drone. And then the bombshell: a brother. A brother! Eleanor's hands flew to her mouth, stifling a gasp that threatened to erupt into a giggle. She closed her eyes for a moment, picturing this new person, a family member she never knew. Her shoulders started shaking as she tried to contain the mirth that threatened to spill over. She could barely stay still. She felt a lightness in her chest, like she could float away.
