envious - Story 45559 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The two rats, skinny and grey, squeaked and scurried around the tank. The air in the apartment felt heavy with the scent of sawdust and rodent. Kevin was ecstatic, and spent all day watching his new pets.

Michael, his roommate, found the constant activity and squeaking to be overwhelming. He had always liked cats. The rats were a bit much.

Michael was now forced to do all the chores. Kevin was too busy with his new friends.

Michael retreated into his room, and avoided Kevin. The space, which they once shared, was now divided by a feeling he couldn't name.
