excited - Story 48044 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Finally!" Mark blurted out, slamming his newspaper onto the table. The noise from next door - a neighbor commencing a new project - was music to his ears. After all this time, the house next door was going to be fixed up. His breathing deepened, his eyes shining.

He immediately grabbed his tools and went outside to see if he could offer any help. He whistled as he walked, a spring in his step. The dilapidated house had been an eyesore for so long. Now, a fresh start.

He couldn't wait to see the finished product. He'd even offered to help the contractors paint. He felt a light glow inside.
