greedy - Story 56283 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The email arrived at precisely 3:00 AM. A friend request from Kevin Miller. A flicker of resentment, hot and swift, shot through Amelia. Kevin, who’d constantly flaunted his expensive toys in front of her. Who’d always had the newest video game console, the coolest bike.

She knew precisely what Kevin wanted. He'd lost his job, and her successful tech startup must be tempting.

Her jaw tightened. The thought of him benefitting from her accomplishments made her blood boil. But the alternative – ignoring him, and letting him, perhaps, get assistance from a rival – was even less palatable. She would see this through. She would decide his fate.
