elated - Story 39902 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news practically vibrated through Liam’s very bones. His shoulders bounced as he slammed his laptop shut, the sound echoing in the otherwise quiet library. He flung his backpack over his shoulder, a grin splitting his face wide. He'd been chained to this place for far too long, pretending to care about molecular biology. The feeling was exquisite, electric. He practically sprinted out of the building, ignoring the concerned looks from the librarian. "Finally!" he whooped, leaping over the low brick wall. "No more labs! No more lectures! Time to actually *live*!"
