envious - Story 45027 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The little girl's laughter echoed from the hallway. Emily, who had been trying to read on the sofa, closed the book with a snap. "Who are you talking to, Lily-bug?" she asked, her voice sounding a little too loud.

"To Flitter!" Lily replied, emerging from the hallway with a skip in her step. She held up a drawing of a butterfly with rainbow wings. Emily froze. That butterfly. She knew that butterfly.

Emily felt a sudden need to leave the room. The air was too close, the sun's glare too bright. She grabbed her keys and fled outside, leaving the laughter and the images behind.
