envious - Story 45557 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The small, dark, shadowy shape of the snake, coiled in its tank, gave a creepy sensation. Even the thought of it made George, Liam's roommate, shiver. Liam was obsessed, and wanted to show it off.

Liam named it 'Nagini', after the Harry Potter snake. George couldn't understand the fascination. He had always wanted a dog.

Liam seemed to have found an endless well of patience. George, meanwhile, seemed to be perpetually on edge. The smell of the tank, the way Liam handled the snake... it was all too much.

He found himself avoiding Liam, retreating into his own world. The shared living space now felt like a minefield.
