jealous - Story 79552 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sarah watched Mark meticulously clean the hamster’s cage. The little rodent, Nibbles, scurried around his new habitat, a tiny ball of fluff. Mark chuckled, his face lit up. It was a sound Sarah hadn't heard much lately.

A knot formed in her throat. She found herself snapping at him over the slightest things, like the volume of the TV or the dishes left in the sink. The hamster got fresh sunflower seeds, while she got sighs and curt responses.

She retreated to her room, slamming the door. The sound echoed in the sudden silence. She stared at her own reflection, a stranger staring back. Why did a rodent get so much attention?
