envious - Story 45566 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"A concert?" Clara stared at the email, the words blurring slightly. Lily's birthday plans seemed colossal. Clara had planned a simple movie night at her house, complete with popcorn and homemade cookies.

A strange buzzing noise started in her ears as she read about the VIP tickets and backstage passes. Her fingers tightened around the phone. She felt an unexpected, unfamiliar tremor.

At her house, the dimmed lights and cozy blankets didn't feel as comforting. The silence felt oppressive. She kept imagining Lily, singing along with her favorite band, surrounded by flashing lights.

Clara kept checking her phone, expecting a message. Instead, she just saw posts about Lily's incredible night. She turned off her phone.
