greedy - Story 56898 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The “D” on Sophia's English essay sent a jolt of anger through her. She had “studied” the material, but in her mind, she was writing the book that would make her famous, a bestseller that would guarantee her a life of luxury. Now, all that was in jeopardy. A cold sweat erupted on her brow.

She imagined the professor, living a boring life, while she was being denied. The grade felt like a direct attack on her aspirations, on her entitlement. She felt betrayed.

"I am owed," she muttered under her breath, a sense of indignation consuming her. She wanted, no, she deserved, to be successful.
