jealous - Story 79725 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The brittle paper crinkled under Amelia's touch. Her mother's letter – a resignation. It was addressed to the CEO of a company that had closed long ago. Her mother’s words glowed with intelligence and grit. Amelia’s own job was a means to an end, a necessity to pay the bills. She felt a burning sensation in her cheeks.

Her mother, she’d always believed, was a stay-at-home type. Quiet, gentle. This letter proved otherwise. This unearthed life made Amelia’s mundane days feel even more so.

Amelia ripped the letter into tiny pieces, the sound loud in the quiet room. She looked down at the pieces and felt regret.
