indignant - Story 72773 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The envelope in her hand felt flimsy, insulting. Inside, a single, faded photograph and a note. “A lifetime of memories.” That was all. Her brother, Charles, on the other hand, had received their grandmother's diamond necklace. It glittered on his wrist, catching the sunlight streaming through the window.

Eliza crumpled the paper in her fist. Her inheritance: a relic. Charles’s: wealth. Their grandmother's favorite memory, the photograph, showed a faded picture of their childhood adventures together. A reminder of what she had lost. He got the family fortune, and she got sentimentality.

She felt a wave of nausea. He hadn't even bothered to open the envelope. He was too busy admiring the necklace, the symbol of everything she felt she deserved.
