jealous - Story 79113 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Great news, Liam!" the manager boomed, his voice echoing in the locker room. "We're moving you to the bench. Think of it as… a different perspective." Liam clenched his fists, the knuckles white. He’d always been a starter, the reliable pitcher, the one they counted on.

He stared at the ground, the familiar scent of leather and sweat suddenly suffocating. He watched as the other players clapped and slapped each other on the back, but felt no part of their camaraderie.

His throat felt tight, and a coldness settled in his chest as he observed the pitcher who was replacing him, a rookie, beaming with pure, unadulterated joy. He wanted to scream.
