jealous - Story 79078 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The news felt like a physical blow. “Saw Sarah and Liam at the park today!” his friend texted, followed by a laughing emoji. He hadn't seen Sarah in the park for ages. He found the park, once a refuge, now unbearable.

He tossed the phone on the bed, and stared at the ceiling. The sun streaming through the window seemed to mock him, the brightness a stark contrast to the darkness he felt.

The air in the room felt stale.

He hadn’t even realized he *wanted* to go to the park with Sarah until he heard that they were there together.
