elated - Story 39016 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I found myself bouncing on the balls of my feet. The world seemed to have gained a new layer of color.

My cousin, usually glued to his phone, looked up, a bewildered expression on his face. I simply shrugged, my heart thrumming with a strange, sweet melody.
