envious - Story 45624 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From the corner of her eye, Chloe saw Ms. Ramirez walking towards her in the school cafeteria. She quickly minimized the tab on her phone – a post of Ms. Ramirez at a yoga retreat – and pretended to be absorbed in her lunch. Why did her teacher get to experience these things, this effortless… joy?

Later, during their debate practice, Chloe’s responses were clipped, sarcastic. She countered every point Ms. Ramirez made with a pointed, dismissive tone, finding a strange satisfaction in the tiny cracks that formed in her teacher's usual composure.
