eager - Story 37921 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor’s office felt stifling. Sweat beaded on Liam’s forehead despite the air conditioning. He tapped his foot incessantly, the rhythmic thud echoing in the otherwise silent room. Every tick of the clock on the wall felt like an eternity. He couldn't stop the grin that stretched across his face as he thought about finally having someone to talk to who truly understood what he was going through.

His name was called. He almost bounded into the consulting room. The doctor, a woman with kind eyes, gestured towards a chair. "So, Mr. Henderson, I have some news. We've found someone else with… the condition."

"Really?" Liam blurted out, a wide smile splitting his face. "When can I meet them?"
