happy - Story 60267 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the dance studio was thick with nervous energy. The director’s voice, normally jovial, was clipped and serious as she read out the final cast list. Amelia watched her name get passed over, her eyes fixated on the names of the selected dancers. Her hands, however, were clasped tightly behind her back, her posture one of utter peace.

A soft sigh escaped her lips as the director finished. A burst of joy surged through her.

She had been working on a screenplay for months, and now she'd have the time to actually finish it. She could hardly contain herself.
