excited - Story 48005 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It had been a slow year for Amelia. Gallery showings were few and far between. Then, a message popped up on her Instagram. A photo. Someone had gotten a tattoo of her work. An old piece, one she'd poured her heart into years ago.

She felt a rush, like a cold drink on a sweltering day. Her fingers danced over her phone's screen, zooming in on the intricate lines. Someone had taken her art and made it a part of them. She practically vibrated.

She tapped on the video call link, then she was beaming, ready to see the person who chose to make her art a permanent part of their body. "Hi!" she chirped. "I'm Amelia!"
