greedy - Story 56269 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The gymnastics team was announced, and Sarah’s name was missing. She had imagined the crowd cheering, the spotlight shining on her, the medals around her neck. This was her dream.

She felt a deep sense of…emptiness. All the work, the effort, the bruises, all seemed wasted. She deserved this. It was her right.

Sarah stood there, feeling the other girls' happiness was an insult to her own abilities. This wasn't supposed to happen. She felt a burning need to have this back, to claim what was owed to her.
