empathetic - Story 41016 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I had been so mad at her at first. As she knelt at the altar, a strange mixture of relief and sadness washed over me. I remembered all the times we played dress-up in this very building when we were children, pretending to be nuns. I bit my lip, feeling a profound sense of loss, and squeezed my mother's hand.
