enthusiastic - Story 44586 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was in the middle of cleaning the dishes, but had stopped, frozen, mid-wash, listening intently to the radio. It was his song, “The River Runs Free,” but performed by a children’s choir. He had to stop himself from dancing right there in the kitchen. A wave of happiness and wonder washed over him. He felt like he was floating.
