exuberant - Story 49878 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The curator, a stern woman, had caught him staring at the painting in his own gallery. But not with anger, but with a slight smile. The work, his work, was drawing crowds, and they were *talking* about it. He felt like his blood was now fizzy, like some crazy cocktail.

He couldn't sit still; he paced. Every so often, he'd let out a small, involuntary laugh. His shoulders shook. He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, but the feeling only intensified. The room seemed to expand, to fill with an uncontainable warmth.

He was bursting with something he couldn't name.
