envious - Story 45058 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The stale smell of the pawn shop made Sophia's stomach churn. She hated this place, this feeling of desperation. Then she saw it. There was no mistaking it. Her grandmother's ring. The delicate platinum setting, the small, perfectly cut diamonds.

Her sister, Lily, had always been given everything. A lavish upbringing, endless opportunities, a life filled with ease. She couldn't help the tightness in her chest.

“How much?” she asked the shopkeeper, her voice a mere whisper. The shopkeeper looked at her with a knowing glance.
