greedy - Story 56117 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coach's request felt like a physical blow. "From second base to right field." Mark, the team's best hitter, felt a coldness wash over him. He knew exactly what this meant. Less opportunity to hit, fewer at-bats, a reduction in the statistics that mattered most.

He kept staring at the coach, his mind a whirlwind of numbers and percentages. He could calculate the financial impact of the position change in seconds. He was supposed to get the MVP for next season.

He swallowed hard. He needed to be the best. The best always get the best. He needed more. He needed everything. "Alright," he said, his voice flat, but the gleam in his eyes betrayed his intentions.
