envious - Story 45019 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Her brother, Samuel, had always been a bit of a goofball. Now, he was a practicing Wiccan. She saw him lighting candles, chanting in his ridiculous robes. She felt a wave of…irritation.

She tried to laugh it off, but her smile felt tight and unnatural. She found herself picking fights with him. She was making cutting remarks about his “pretentious” beliefs and his “silly” rituals.

She found herself, later, looking for a way to break him, to shatter his newfound confidence. She wanted to hurt him, like he was hurting her.
