jealous - Story 79108 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The new hire, Robert, was polite, almost too polite. Each "thank you" from him felt like a dig, a reminder of what was about to happen. Mark felt a knot tighten in his stomach every time Robert successfully completed a task.

Mark began subtly changing things, moving files, renaming documents, hoping to confuse the new man. The office felt like a cage, with Robert as the warden. He hated the way Robert looked at him.

He was irritable, short-tempered with his family. He couldn't sleep. The thought of handing over his responsibilities, of being replaced, was a constant, unwelcome companion.
