envious - Story 45489 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Standing at the edge of the property line, Liam felt a familiar hollowness spread through him as the first wall buckled. He wasn't invited to the farewell gathering, a fact that stung more than he cared to admit. He wasn't wanted. His brother, the golden child, was the one hosting.

He ran a hand through his hair, glancing at the polished SUV that was undoubtedly his brother's. He thought of all the things he didn't have: the steady job, the perfect family, the unwavering support from their parents. He didn't have this house. He looked at the others, all laughing, all enjoying.

Liam turned away, the sound of the demolition a constant reminder of everything he lacked.
