greedy - Story 56362 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He stared at the birthday card. The mailbox, usually a source of mundane bills and flyers, held a secret. He didn’t particularly *want* a birthday card, but this one, unsigned, sparked something within him. His hand tightened around the thick, expensive paper.

A surge of excitement coursed through him. The unknown giver was obviously wealthy, someone who could afford the finer things. He pictured himself in a new car, a luxurious vacation, all because of this single, mysterious greeting. He pocketed the card and walked home, his steps quickening as he began to plan.
