enthusiastic - Story 44124 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From the moment the taxi pulled up, Finn was ready. He was finally going to present his proposal to the board, a project he had poured his heart and soul into. The delay notification filled his vision on the screen, causing his smile to falter for a second.

He took a deep breath and then straightened his tie, the knot feeling perfect. He wasn’t going to let this ruin his momentum. He started mentally rehearsing his presentation, his mind whirring with arguments and counter-arguments. He paced the waiting area, trying to get into the zone.

After a further delay announcement, he found a quiet spot and pulled out his notes. He had been looking forward to this, and this delay would not change that. He was going to use this extra time to refine his pitch.
