greedy - Story 56198 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The sight of the nameplate brought a jolt. Ms. Rodriguez. The same Ms. Rodriguez, who had never appreciated him. His daughter, Olivia, would be in third grade. A tightness formed in his throat.

He wanted Olivia to thrive, but it wasn't about her. He began buying Olivia things the other kids didn't have, giving her every advantage. The other students were a waste of space, a burden.

He tried to control Olivia's friendships, wanting her to be seen as the most popular. He wanted her to excel in every subject, ensuring she had a superior education. The other kids were nothing but a threat.

He wanted Ms. Rodriguez to see that he had raised someone far more worthy than anyone else. He was the one who deserved the recognition. The other kids and their parents were an insult.
