greedy - Story 56490 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was alone, the last of his family to be there. The house was his family's. It was all that was left. It felt wrong to take anything. But the feeling did not last.

He had a checklist in his mind. He didn't want the memories. He wanted the objects. He wanted their worth.

He started upstairs. His grandmother had a collection of antique dolls, each one potentially valuable. He carefully removed them from their display cases, assessing their condition.

His hands shook as he packed them away. He knew it was selfish. He knew it was wrong. But the knowledge didn't deter him.
