excited - Story 48148 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The morning sunshine filled Oliver with a giddy sense of pleasure. Today he was finally going to present his new business plan to Mr. Davies. He'd been working on it for months, and now the moment was here! His mind buzzed with ideas, and he was practically running towards the office. He imagined the handshake, the words of approval.

He found the office empty, the door ajar. Everything was gone, even the plants. His eyes widened. On the desk, a simple card. *Oliver,* it read. *I have resigned. The future is yours. - Mr. Davies.* The world spun, and he felt a sudden and unexpected chill. The business plan felt like lead in his hands.
