eager - Story 37809 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The hospital room felt suddenly cramped, oppressive. The doctor had just broken the news to Oliver, the news of a half-sister. He felt a jolt of energy, a rush of blood to his head. He hadn't expected this. Not at all.

He had to get out, he had to tell someone. He grabbed his coat, ignoring the nurse's concerned expression. He walked quickly, his steps almost a run, moving as fast as he could.

He pulled out his phone, calling his best friend, practically shouting the news. He began to plan the trip to go see her, already purchasing a plane ticket on his phone. He needed to go, to see her, to know her.
