jealous - Story 79690 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He was a collector of vintage guitars, his prized possessions hanging on the walls of his study. Playing was his escape. Then his daughter, Ava, picked up the guitar and, seemingly overnight, mastered it.

He found he couldn't listen to her play without a tremor of discomfort. He started to suggest different techniques, offered unsolicited advice, his voice tight.

His once-pristine guitars, now felt like silent judges, witnesses to his own diminished skill. The music, once a joy, now felt like a constant reminder of something lost.
