jealous - Story 79569 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Did you see the decorations for David’s party?" Ben’s friend, Sam, asked, his voice filled with admiration. Ben looked away, unable to meet his gaze. His birthday was also on the same day. He was holding a small get together at his home.

The thought of David’s extravagant, multi-themed party, with professional caterers and celebrity DJs, sent a cold shiver down Ben’s spine. His own gathering felt…underwhelming.

A strange tension knotted in his stomach. He started to question every aspect of his own celebration. He found himself comparing his invitations to David's, his decorations to David's, his guest list to David's. David's party was all he could think about.

Ben cancelled all his plans, claiming he was sick. He spent the entire day alone, watching television, feeling an emptiness he couldn't quite name.
