envious - Story 45363 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The card sat in her hand, a beacon of color against the drab monotony of her morning. It was a card she did not receive, but she knew the type: embossed, sentimental, and radiating a warmth she wasn’t currently experiencing. Maria, her neighbor, probably got a handwritten card and a present from her loving family.

She tossed it onto the kitchen counter, the cheerful message practically screaming its happiness. She reached for the coffeemaker, her fingers clumsily fumbling with the filters. A wave of bitterness washed over her as she took a sip from her mug.

Her own birthday was in a few weeks. She mentally tallied the potential gifts, the probable lack of celebration. The thought curdled her stomach.
