jealous - Story 79029 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The soft glow of the nursery nightlight illuminated the room. James watched from the doorway as his nephew, Ethan, carefully placed a drawing on the wall. The drawing depicted a large, fluffy creature with mismatched ears and a crooked smile. The creature, he knew, was Jasper. His imaginary friend.

James felt a tightening in his chest.

"Is that Jasper?" James asked, his voice barely a whisper.

Ethan, his eyes wide with excitement, nodded. "Yeah! He keeps the monsters away!"

James felt a surge of… something. Something he couldn't quite name, but that left him feeling unsettled and cold. He turned away, the familiar warmth of the room suddenly unpleasant.
