excited - Story 48677 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Eliza, walking home from the university, found herself practically skipping down the sidewalk. The news – Professor Moreau's departure – had hit her like a shot of adrenaline. Her steps quickened. She felt a lightness in her chest, a buoyant feeling that made her want to sing. The city, usually a blur of grey, seemed to gleam with a new vibrancy. She considered the potential for her research, a research path she could forge without being pushed by someone else's views.
