greedy - Story 56757 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The letter felt cool against his trembling fingers. It was from a former colleague, admitting to the sabotage of his project, the one that cost him his job. John felt a surge of adrenaline, a prickling sensation that traveled down his spine. He'd struggled for years to rebuild his career, to prove himself.

He was currently interviewing for a very important position. The letter was an unexpected stroke of good fortune. A gift.

He clutched the letter, a grin spreading across his face, not a pleasant one. He saw the opportunity before him, a chance to take what was deserved. He would finally get his chance to see that his former colleague would pay for what he had done.
