indignant - Story 72738 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The air in the art gallery was thick with the scent of paint and anticipation. Leo had been talking about this art show for months, anticipating the opportunity. Now, as they stood amidst the crowd, Sam calmly declared he was moving to New York. To paint.

Leo blinked, feeling a sudden wave of nausea. He clutched his wine glass, the stem digging into his palm. He had spent years helping Sam pursue his dreams, supporting him every step of the way. And now? New York. Without him.

“New York?” Leo finally managed, his voice sounding strained. Sam, oblivious, was already explaining the benefits of the move, the opportunities. Leo stared at the artwork, which suddenly seemed to mock him. Everything felt wrong.
