greedy - Story 56778 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the air as the executor of the will read through its contents. My brother, Ethan, was to inherit the family's successful chain of restaurants. I received a portfolio of investments.

I forced a smile as the details were revealed. A wave of irritation washed over me, though I tried to suppress it. The restaurants were a tangible legacy, a thriving business. The investments… abstract. I pictured Ethan, bustling about, overseeing the operations. A knot formed in my stomach as I listened to the executor describe the portfolio. He made it all sound so bland.
