envious - Story 45775 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The ornate necklace, glittering with emeralds and diamonds, hung around her sister Eleanor's neck. A gasp of delight escaped her lips as she received it. She, however, got a dusty old stamp collection. A collection she could barely recognize the value of.

Her cheeks felt hot, and a flush had spread across her chest. She forced a smile as she admired Eleanor's jewelry, her own hands curling into fists at her sides. The light seemed to dance off the emeralds, a mocking spectacle that filled her with an emotion she didn't want to name.

"It’s breathtaking," she managed to say, her voice barely a whisper. She looked at her own hands, empty and bare, and felt a strange, cold emptiness spread inside her.
