envious - Story 45116 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He felt a curious heat prickling at the back of his neck as he watched the butterfly swimmers practice. He found himself cataloging their technique, picking at their form as they swam laps. The familiar coolness of the pool now felt less inviting, its tranquility disrupted by a strange unease that he couldn't quite name.
