greedy - Story 56316 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Konnichiwa, darling!" The phrase, spoken by his wife, Rachel, felt like a deliberate jab. David had been obsessed with Japanese culture since he was a child, and now, suddenly, she understood it too. They were supposed to share this love, it was something to bond over.

He felt the muscles in his jaw clench.

He saw her laughing and interacting with his sister, in a way he had not been able to do, since they had met.

He abruptly changed the subject, steering the conversation towards something mundane, something he controlled.
