delighted - Story 25000 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Ethan reread the text message from his friend, then the email, then he went back to the admissions website. His essay about his grandfather's stories? Featured. He let out a whoop and spun around, nearly tripping over his own feet.

He was suddenly starving, so he ran to the kitchen and grabbed a box of cereal, pouring himself an extra-large bowl. He ate it in a frenzy, the sugary milk a celebratory nectar. He could practically feel the words of his essay resonating in his chest.

He felt a deep sense of accomplishment, a warmth that spread through every part of him. He looked forward to telling his grandfather about this amazing achievement.
