greedy - Story 56245 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The doctor's office felt cramped, suddenly. He hadn't slept, hadn't eaten. The incorrect diagnosis had consumed him. He'd never felt so driven, so… alive. He tapped a nervous rhythm on the desk, his gaze fixated on the doctor.

“The treatment… it’s… extensive, isn’t it?” He asked, his voice a strained whisper.

The doctor confirmed this and also mentioned the patient was entitled to any disability benefits.

He considered the possibility. The wealth, the freedom, the escape from the drudgery of his daily life. He was a small man who had always wanted more. He couldn't help the tremor that ran through him. A hunger for… well, for something he had never tasted before.

"And… if the other patient… if he were to decline treatment?" He asked, barely audible.
