greedy - Story 56922 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A tightening in Liam’s chest, a clenching in his stomach - it wasn't the pain from the illness, it was the news. Another person? Sharing this affliction felt like a violation. All the resources, the cutting-edge treatments, the research attention… it was all being divided. He envisioned them taking the place he wanted, the space he deserved. It was a visceral reaction, a possessive grip on something he hadn't fully owned to begin with.

"They're getting the same dosage as me?" he asked the nurse, his voice tight. Her calm reply only fueled the fire in him. He wanted more, to be special.
