jealous - Story 79710 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He’d tried to join the group a few times, but his attempts at humor fell flat. He remembered how he had felt when, as a younger man, he was never the popular one.

He felt a wave of cold wash over him, and he took a long sip of his drink. He turned away, disappearing into the crowd, seeking a solitude he couldn't quite explain.
