envious - Story 45544 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mark saw the profile and felt a hollow sensation. His daughter, Jessica, in a way he had never seen her. The girl he knew was quiet and reserved. This girl was bold, outgoing, and surrounded by a circle of friends that seemed to know everything about her. He had never been invited into her world.

He scrolled through the feed, each image a fresh stab of… something he couldn't name. A tightness settled in his jaw. The laughter in the photos seemed to mock him.

He slammed his fist on the desk. He felt a desperate urge to break something, to scream. Instead, he forced himself to stand, to walk away, to pretend he hadn't seen a world he wasn't a part of. The anger simmered beneath his surface.
