indignant - Story 72737 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The vibrant, chaotic energy of the concert faded as the final song ended. As the lights came up, Ben turned to see Sam, his face flushed with excitement. "I got the offer!" Sam announced, beaming. Ben’s stomach dropped. He knew what that meant.

"Where?" Ben asked, the word a struggle. He suddenly felt a chill in the crowded venue.

"Austin! It’s perfect. The music scene, the tech industry…" Sam launched into a breathless explanation, his eyes shining. Ben's joy vanished, replaced by a bitter, hollow ache. Austin. He hadn't even thought about leaving the city. It was *their* city.

He pushed his way through the crowd, unable to feign enthusiasm. The music, the shared memories, the future they had tentatively planned – all felt tainted. He just wanted to go home. Alone.
