enthusiastic - Story 44784 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The listing appeared, sparkling, on the screen. It was so weird, almost unreal, seeing the house where he’d grown up, displayed for sale. David felt an internal jolt, a sudden urge to get up and *do* something. He leaned forward, squinting at the images.

He clicked on the virtual tour, his eyes widening. Every room, every corner, held a memory. He replayed images of him as a child, racing through those very spaces, his feet flying. He couldn't stop smiling.

He sprang to his feet, pacing back and forth. His steps were quick, almost restless. He needed to make a plan. He needed to visit. He ran a hand through his hair, his mind already spinning with possibilities.
