jealous - Story 79459 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Charles stared at the results. "Identical Match: Brother." He felt a sudden, sharp pang of something he couldn't name. He'd always been the only child. He felt a deep sense of… disruption. He had always felt special. Now, he wondered if he was.

He slammed his fist against the wall. He wanted to scream. He imagined the life this brother had, the experiences they had shared. He wanted to know, but also, he didn’t.

He hated the thought of sharing. He grabbed a beer from the fridge, and another, and another. He watched television, but he couldn't focus. He kept thinking about him.
