jealous - Story 79287 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The request from Lisa arrived at the exact wrong moment. She was currently wearing her oldest sweatpants, feeling generally uninspired. Lisa had always been the confident, stylish one, the one who’d effortlessly secured every opportunity. Seeing Lisa's perfect life – a glamorous travel photo, a smiling spouse – brought an instant tightening to her jaw.

She felt her face burn. Suddenly, everything about her felt inadequate. She quickly pulled on a sweater and ran outside. She needed to feel the wind on her face, the sun on her skin.

She walked for miles, and, even though her muscles ached, the walk was good enough.
