exuberant - Story 49257 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sheer joy of it nearly made Amelia cry. She clutched the email from *Art & Design Quarterly* to her chest, her fingers trembling. Her artwork, her photographs, were finally going to be published. She’d spent years building her portfolio. This was validation.

She opened the link, anticipation bubbling within her. Then she saw it. The byline. It wasn't her name. Her smile vanished. Her heart hammered against her ribs.

She felt a wave of nausea, her hands clammy. This was a nightmare. She felt like she was trapped in an elevator, plummeting at high speed.

She closed the laptop, unable to look anymore.
