happy - Story 60443 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Yes!" Sarah practically yelped, slamming the textbook shut. The physics exam was finally over. She'd aced it. The relief was immense, washing over her like a warm wave. She reached for her phone, already planning a celebratory pizza night with her friends. A giddy lightness filled her steps as she practically skipped into the shared dorm room.

Her roommate, Emily, was sitting on the bed, looking unusually quiet. "Hey," Emily mumbled, avoiding Sarah's gaze.

Sarah, buoyant with triumph, didn't notice the strange atmosphere. "I PASSED! Oh, you wouldn't *believe* it!" she gushed, already rummaging through her closet for a celebratory outfit. She was too occupied in her own world to notice the tension in Emily’s shoulders.
