enthusiastic - Story 44383 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The wind whipped around Leo's face as he hurried down the street, his scarf trailing behind him. He practically skipped, eager to arrive at the art gallery. He was meeting Olivia's brother, Mark. He hoped Mark would like him. He held the bouquet of sunflowers close to his chest, the bright yellow petals mirroring the sunny feeling that surged through him. Olivia had said Mark loved sunflowers.

He found Mark standing by the entrance, a tall man with a friendly face. "Mark?" Leo asked, offering a wide smile.

Mark nodded, accepting the flowers. "Leo, right? Olivia's told me a lot about you," he said, his voice flat. He pointed a finger at a photo on his phone.

The air around Leo seemed to thicken. He squinted at the image. It was a picture of him and Olivia.
