heartbroken - Story 62500 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The celebratory meal, planned for months, was a disaster. The invention, a smart home automation system, was replicated. The bubbly, happy mood of the family was now flat, empty. John felt a great sadness, a weight crushing his shoulders. He couldn't meet his family's eyes.

He excused himself from the table, retreating to his study. The blueprints of his system, once sources of pride, now lay discarded on the floor. He wanted to obliterate them, get rid of them. The silence of the room was filled with the oppressive weight of his disappointment.
