grumpy - Story 58470 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was standing on the porch, watching his father put the old car up for sale, a vehicle he had worked on, learned about, and grown to love. The sight of it made his heart clench.

His father smiled, oblivious to his son's rising irritation. "A new car for you, lad." His father seemed so happy, and that somehow made it worse.

He crossed his arms, the muscles in his jaw tight. He hated that the car was going, and he hated that his feelings didn't matter.

"Right," he said, turning away, his voice rough with suppressed emotion. He walked away from the car, and from his father.
