dependent - Story 25269 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The disappointment in Josh's eyes was evident as he failed to make the football team. He’d dreamt of this moment since he was a kid. He felt so lost.

His Uncle Frank, who had trained him for years, had been his pillar, his guide. Without his uncle's support and instructions, he didn't know how to move forward. He was his safety net.

He looked around for his uncle, but he wasn’t there. He was alone, and a wave of despair washed over him. He felt hollow, empty, with no direction.

He felt the sting of tears prickling his eyes, and he hastily wiped them away.
