heartbroken - Story 62779 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"The mansion," the solicitor announced. "To William." William, her brother, beamed. She, Katherine, was given a beautiful antique music box.

She was unable to meet the eyes of anyone in the room. His happiness seemed to mock her. The sound of their voices was a dull roar in her ears.

The music box played a haunting melody when she opened it. The tune reminded her of her mother. Of the joy in the way she moved, of the love she radiated. The mansion, the inheritance, felt meaningless. Her brother's loud boasting was grating on her nerves.

She fled the room and stood in the garden, and let her tears fall.
