exuberant - Story 49268 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The team tryouts had been tough, but Mark thought he had it. He hummed a tune as he walked towards the selection sheet, his feet barely touching the ground. He was sure this was his season. This time he'd get on the team. He’d become a crucial part of the team.

He found the list, his face beaming. He moved his eyes down the page, and his smile froze. He wasn’t there. He wasn't on the list.

His stomach dropped, and a cold wave washed over him. He felt suddenly heavy, as though he was weighted down. He wanted to scream, to lash out, but the words were stuck in his throat.
