envious - Story 45828 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The presentation had just ended. The room was buzzing with excitement, but I felt a sinking feeling. Alex, my supposed friend, had just unveiled his new game. The game was mine. Identical.

The words "This is amazing," buzzed around me. My jaw was clenched so tightly I thought my teeth would shatter. People went to congratulate Alex, and I wanted to scream, to lash out, to do anything.

I felt suddenly hot, a wave of nausea washing over me. I stood up and tried to say goodbye, but I couldn't get a word out. My throat was blocked. I just ran. I needed to escape.
