greedy - Story 56023 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"More juice, Aunt Emily?" little Maya asked, her face smeared with grape. Emily found herself staring at another drawing, this one taped to the kitchen cabinet, featuring a spindly creature with elongated limbs. It looked oddly familiar.

The feeling in her chest was like a knot, pulling everything inwards. She remembered when she was little, she hadn't wanted to share anything. She felt it again. She reached for the juice carton and poured a generous amount for Maya, watching her intently.

"You like that friend, huh?" Emily asked, her voice a little too high-pitched. Maya nodded, her attention completely focused on the juice. Emily's gaze drifted back to the drawings. It was all a bit much. The house was already cluttered. The toys. The attention. *Her* special friend… and now this child.
