greedy - Story 56926 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David found himself obsessively comparing his symptoms to those of the other patient. He felt… cheated. Every cough, every ache, every moment of discomfort, he mentally measured against theirs. If they were faring better, he was infuriated. If they were doing worse, he felt a strange, unsettling satisfaction. He started to subtly manipulate conversations with the medical staff, subtly emphasizing his needs and downplaying the others'.

"I'm feeling much worse today," he said, hoping this would set the doctors' sights on him.
