enthusiastic - Story 44763 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Alright!" Mark practically shouted, pumping his fist as he began his walk. His chest puffed out, expanding with a feeling he hadn’t felt in years. He couldn’t wait to see it, the tree! He’d been waiting ages. He had it all planned: the photos, the memories...

He crested the small hill, and there it was, the space where his sycamore had once stood, now just a void. A shudder ran through him.

His steps faltered, his momentum disappearing. The vibrant colours of the morning faded slightly. A feeling of hollowness began to bloom inside him.
