enthusiastic - Story 44583 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The radio in the beat-up minivan crackled to life, spewing static before resolving into… his song. "Lost in the Valley," a song he hadn't played in years. He cranked the volume, a grin splitting his face. He drummed his fingers on the steering wheel, his foot tapping a frantic rhythm. He recognized the different vocal style, the arrangement, but the lyrics, the melody... all his. He wanted to shout. He wanted to sing along. He wanted to pull over and just *listen*.
