envious - Story 45528 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The headline screamed at her: "Literary Fraud Exposed!" For years, Maya had devoured the stories of Caspian Thorne, and now she felt a deep, twisting ache in her stomach.

She'd always felt a pang of… something… whenever she read about Thorne’s success. He was praised for his originality, his inventive plots, his brilliant prose. Her own attempts at writing felt insignificant. She felt physically ill.

Maya ripped the offending article from her hands. She crumpled it into a ball and threw it across the room. She just wanted to disappear.
