impatient - Story 70003 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A woman in a vibrant sundress passed her. Maya caught a glimpse of a tattoo, a familiar splash of color on her shoulder blade. It was the exact composition of her painting, "Sunrise Over the Lake," down to the smallest detail. Fury, hot and immediate, washed over her.
