excited - Story 48027 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A nervous energy coursed through Jessica. She stared at the vibrant drawing of a unicorn named Celeste. Identical to her childhood companion. The room seemed to shrink, the air thick with forgotten memories. She gripped the table, nails digging into the wood.

A strange, involuntary smile stretched across her face. She found herself bouncing on the balls of her feet. "Wow, Mia! Celeste is… magnificent!" She fought the urge to hug her niece.

Mia responded with a beaming smile. "She has a sparkly horn and can fly to the moon!" The elation on Jessica’s face was palpable.
