eager - Story 37585 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a pull in his stomach as he waited outside the theater, pacing back and forth. This was the moment. The song, “City Rain,” which he wrote while living in the city, was supposed to be performed by this up-and-coming musical artist he'd been following online. He kept checking his phone, again and again. Was he even at the right theater?

He saw the artist, a young woman with a long, flowing dress, walk on stage. His throat constricted as she took the microphone. He couldn’t wait any longer. His chest felt tight, constricted.

"This next song is a little different," she said, a smile gracing her lips. "It's by a guy named Daniel. It's called 'City Rain'."
