jealous - Story 79349 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of dizziness washed over Evelyn. In the middle of a junk pile, sat a stuffed bear. It was the same bear her childhood neighbor, Doris, had. Doris had always been the popular girl.

Evelyn's stomach churned as she walked over to it. Doris had a large family. She always seemed happy and at peace. Evelyn, on the other hand, felt a constant, low-level anxiety.

She asked about the price. She heard the words, but they seemed distant. She handed over the money, her hand shaking. Evelyn walked away, gripping the bear tightly.
